Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from fever and cough with a lot of sleeping. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to May reason like Common cold, bronchitis, asthma, acute sinusitis, viral influenza and viral pharyngitis. In your case the symptoms seems to be occurred either due to bronchitis or viral influenza. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test, chest x-ray and take history. Doctor may prescribe antitussives (dextromethorphan) and expectorants along with ANI viral Chat Doctor.  For now do warm saline gargles,
