Can you get a fever from seasonal allergies?

Normally, pure seasonal allergies do not cause a true fever. If your thermometer actually reads above 100°F, you are likely dealing with a cold virus or a sinus infection. Keep track of the temperature for a day, and if it rises, visit your doctor for proper antibiotics or antivirals.

Every time the weather changes in Mumbai, my nose turns into a water tap and my head feels hot enough to cook an egg! It is usually just the body overreacting to dust and pollen. A good steam inhalation and an antihistamine from the doctor usually sorts me out.

In my experience, severe seasonal congestion can sometimes lead to secondary sinus infections, which then cause a mild fever. Practicing gentle Jal Neti and daily Pranayama has helped me keep my nasal passages clean and reduced these seasonal episodes significantly.

I was actually reading a medical blog about this! It said that hay fever doesn't actually cause a real fever, despite the name 'fever' being in it. If you actually have a high temperature, it's likely a viral infection rather than just pollen allergy.
