Can allergies cause fever?

My son gets a runny nose and sneezing with a slight fever almost every spring. We usually think it's just a cold, but my wife wonders if it's his allergies. Can allergies really cause a fever?

I went to Aster Medcity when I had a fever along with my seasonal allergies. The physician clearly told me that while 'hay fever' is a term, actual allergies do not cause a true rise in body temperature; a fever usually means an infection is present. Please consult a doctor.

Listen, simple allergies don't give you a fever. If you have a temperature, your body is fighting some viral or bacterial infection, not just dust. Stop taking allergy tablets and go see a doctor today.

If you have an active fever, skip the gym and rest. True allergies don't cause fever, so your body is likely fighting an infection. Focus on staying hydrated with clean water and nutrient-dense food until you can see a doctor.

I am feeling really warm and sneezing a lot today. I thought it was just my dust allergy, but now I have a mild fever. Has anyone else experienced a fever with their allergies, or should I be worried about something else?

Beta, real allergies rarely cause a fever. If your body is warm, it means there is some weakness or infection. Sip some warm water with a little basil and ginger, rest well, but do show yourself to a doctor if the fever stays.

Fever is just the body's natural way of cleaning and healing itself, so do not be afraid. Keep your mind peaceful, drink warm fluids, and take rest. If the temperature doesn't come down, please seek medical help. God bless you.

Since I have thyroid issues, my immune system is always a bit unpredictable, and a fever could mean a sinus infection brought on by allergies. I always do my regular blood tests and follow up with my doctor rather than assuming it is just a simple allergic reaction.

Whenever I get a fever, even my favorite momos taste bland! Honestly, allergies usually just cause sneezes, so a fever might mean you caught a cold. Stick to warm khichdi and soup for now, and see a doctor.
