During allergy season, I experience a lot of sneezing, itchy eyes, and general fatigue. Sometimes I feel really warm, almost like I'm running a temperature. Can pollen give you a fever, or is it just my body reacting intensely to the allergens?

In my experience, many people get confused because of the term 'hay fever', but pollen allergies alone don't cause a high fever. It's usually a viral cold or a sinus block that causes the temperature. Drink warm water, take steam, and rest.

Any fever should be taken seriously as it indicates an active immune response to an infection, not just seasonal pollen. Please do not assume it is harmless. Get it checked by a healthcare professional for a safe and correct diagnosis.

My health app shows my skin temperature rises slightly when my allergies flare up, but a true clinical fever is different. If your fitness tracker shows a high resting heart rate along with a fever, it's definitely an infection. Better check with a doctor.

I feel so hot and flushed every spring, and my forehead feels warm even though the thermometer shows normal. Does anyone else get this feverish feeling with their pollen allergy, or should I be worried about some other infection?

No need to sit and guess if it's pollen or a virus. If you have a fever, it's impacting your work productivity anyway. Get a quick doctor's consult, start the right medication, and get back on track instead of letting it drag.

I always recommend visiting a proper clinic or hospital when you have a fever. Pollen allergies shouldn't cause your temperature to spike, so it could be a bacterial sinus infection. Ask your doctor clearly about the cause and treatment.
