My sinus are clear but def mucus coming out. Slight cough. Feeling weak with a 101° fever. I took some Vit D, nyquil, acetaminophen and heading to bed to sweat it out. You know, like I always have done. Wish me luck fellas!

NyQuil already has acetaminophen. Be careful mixing meds. That stuff can be really hard on your liver. Especially if you have drinking tendencies or end up hitting the NyQuil harder than you should.
Take a coolish shower or bath and it will drop your body temp for hours. When you try to “sweat it out” you run a real risk of dehydration over the long term. This happened to me when I had undiagnosed Lyme. The ER had to dump 3 bags of fluid into me before my vitals got back in line.
cold shower sounds like a very bad idea. its taxing on the body and the body needs all the resources to fight disease. thats why you also dont eat when you are sick.
drinking water is important, but allowing your body to hold a fever is also important. the fever kills the pathogens.
fasting, sleeping and drinking water are the most important things. and vit c, d etc
