Does rsv come with a fever?

My mother was saying that all viral infections must have a high fever, but my doctor cleared my doubt. He said RSV can sometimes just feel like a regular cold with no fever at all. It is always safer to trust the doctor's word.

Haan, fever toh kaafi common hai isme, especially starting ke do-tin din. But har baar high fever ho aisa zaroori nahi hai na. Agar bache ko saas lene mein dikkat ho toh bina fever ke bhi doctor ko dikhana chahiye.

Yes, it often brings a mild fever. Before you spend a lot on home PCR panels and tests, just visit your local doctor. A basic consultation and checking their chest congestion is usually enough to start the right treatment.

While fever is a standard symptom of RSV, many mild cases present strictly with nasal congestion and a mild cough. It is highly recommended to consult your pediatrician to monitor the chest symptoms, fever or no fever.

RSV can absolutely present with a fever, but the severity varies from child to child. For safety, you should always get any persistent fever or cough checked by a qualified pediatrician immediately.
