A low-grade fever is quite common with viral colds as your body fights the infection. Keep an eye on the temperature; if it goes above 102°F or lasts more than three days, please see a doctor.

Yes, but don't just assume any fever is just a 'cold' based on internet comments. If you have severe body pain or chills, get a doctor's opinion instead of trying random home tips.

Drinking warm turmeric milk or tulsi tea can help soothe a mild cold-induced fever. However, if you feel short of breath or extremely weak, please consult a medical practitioner immediately.

Yes, a mild fever is normal with a cold. No need to run for expensive laboratory tests immediately; just rest and monitor your temperature for 48 hours before planning a clinic visit.
