Do you have a fever with covid?
My friend recently tested positive for COVID, and he has a fever. I've been exposed and feel a bit off, but no fever yet. Does everyone who gets COVID necessarily develop a fever, or can you have it without one?

Fever is a very common symptom of COVID, but not everyone gets it. When my sister had it, she only had a scratchy throat and body ache but no high temperature. It's always safest to isolate and take a home test just to be sure.

Most people do get a fever, but it varies from person to person. During my recovery, drinking warm tulsi-ginger tea really helped soothe my throat and brought down the mild fever. However, please consult a doctor if the temperature goes too high.

I just recovered from COVID last month. For the first two days, I had a very high fever along with severe chills and body weakness. It's best to keep paracetamol handy, monitor your oxygen levels, and consult your doctor for the right course of action.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to worry about having COVID every time your body feels warm. Yes, fever is common, but sometimes it's just a normal viral infection or stress. Try to stay calm, check your temperature with a thermometer, and consult a doctor to ease your mind.

I get so worried about symptoms and immediately think the worst. Yes, fever is one of the classic signs of COVID, but some people are completely asymptomatic or just get a runny nose. You should definitely do a rapid antigen test at home to be sure and stop worrying.

In my experience with the virus, fever is usually the first sign that the body is fighting back. Don't panic if you have a temperature; just rest, drink warm water, and let your doctor know. We have all gotten through this, and you will too.
