Can you get a low grade fever with allergies?

My 8-year-old gets severe dust allergy, and initially, I used to panic thinking she had viral fever. Our pediatrician explained that the allergy itself doesn't cause fever, but constant congestion can lead to a secondary sinus issue. I give her saline nasal drops and steam inhalation, which really helps.

I am experiencing this right now with the changing weather and was quite worried. Does a low-grade fever always mean there is some infection inside, or can simple tiredness from sneezing also make the body feel warm? If anyone knows, please tell.

Yes, dear. While typical hay fever doesn't directly run a temperature, the inflammation in your body can make you feel feverish. If the temperature goes above 100 degrees, it is likely a cold or flu rather than just an allergy. Take rest and stay hydrated.

Haan, bilkul ho sakta hai, par directly allergy se nahi hota. Jab nose block ho jaati hai na, toh thoda bacterial infection ban jata hai and tab mild fever aata hai. Try taking steam and keep your surroundings clean, dust se bacho.

Don't just assume it's allergies and ignore the fever. A low-grade fever could be anything from a mild viral infection to something else. Skip the self-diagnosis and check with a doctor if the fever stays for more than two days.

Hey, don't worry too much. Sometimes our body just gets very exhausted from fighting allergens all day, making us feel warm and fatigued. Get some good sleep, drink warm water, and if the fever spikes high, then definitely see a physician.
