Pollen allergies can cause 'hay fever' which makes you feel warm and fatigued, but it rarely causes an actual high body temperature. Keep your immunity high with a clean, vitamin-rich diet and daily exercise. If you do get a proper fever, take a break from training and see a doctor.

My daughter gets severe seasonal allergies from pollen, but her doctor told us that a real fever is not caused by pollen itself. If she has a fever, it's usually a viral infection or a sinus infection from all the congestion. Please monitor your child closely and keep them hydrated.

Severe allergies can stress the body, which can sometimes fluctuate blood sugar levels and make you feel feverish. If you actually have a fever, it is likely an infection, so check your sugar levels regularly and consult your physician for proper care.

According to medical consensus, pollen allergies (allergic rhinitis) do not directly cause a true fever, despite the misleading name 'hay fever'. If you are running a temperature, it points toward a viral or bacterial infection, perhaps secondary sinusitis. A proper clinical consultation is recommended.

If you have a busy routine and can't afford to fall sick, don't ignore a fever. While pollen causes sneezing and itchy eyes, a fever means your body is fighting an infection. Don't waste time waiting; get a quick consultation from a local GP so you can get back to work.
