Does covid always cause a fever?

In my long experience with seasonal flu and now covid, symptoms vary greatly from person to person. During the second wave, my wife had a high temperature, but I only had a mild dry cough and body ache with absolutely no fever. Don't worry too much, just isolate yourself and rest.

Please don't make the mistake of waiting for a fever to show up before getting tested. I ignored my sore throat and body ache thinking it was just fatigue because I had no temperature, and later it turned out to be covid which I passed on to my family. Get a test done if you feel off.

No, it doesn't always cause a fever. Many people only get a cold, body pain, or even remain completely asymptomatic.

Children, covid does not always show itself with a high fever. Sometimes it is just a heavy head or a scratchy throat, so be careful. Sip on warm water with a little turmeric and black pepper, rest your body well, and do not hesitate to contact a doctor if you feel very weak.

No, it really depends on your immunity. With my hormonal issues, my body reacts differently to infections and when I had covid, I only experienced extreme fatigue and muscle aches instead of a fever. Keep an eye on how you feel overall and consult your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Based on my office experience where half my team got infected, fever was absent in at least 30% of the cases. Most just had fatigue and a mild runny nose but tested positive. If you feel unwell, take a day off, do a rapid test, and consult a doctor online to save time.
