Antibiotics are not effective on colds as they are caused by a virus. It would do nothing but increase the chance of whatever antibiotic you take to not work the next time you really need them

Petty is correct. If it is just a cold, an antibiotic will not help and taking one just increases your chance of developing antibiotic resistance. The NIH lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.
An antibiotic should only be taken if a physician has confirmed the presence of an infection and told you to take one.
Given the low grade fever and that you say this has been going on for several months, I think it is definitely time to have this checked out.
Are you on any other medications? Are you still experiencing these symptoms?
