How many days of fever?

I've been having a low-grade fever for a couple of days now, feeling quite tired. Not sure if I should be worried or if it's just a normal viral. How long does a typical fever usually last?

Normally, a standard viral fever should resolve in 3 to 4 days. If it goes beyond 3 days without any sign of dropping, you need to consult a doctor to avoid missing work and worsening your health.

Haan, usually toh viral bukhar 3 se 5 din mein chala jata hai. Par agar temperature bahut zyada hai, toh hume doctor ke paas jaldi jaana chahiye na.

A standard fever usually lasts around 3 days. Make sure to completely avoid workouts and heavy exercise during this time, and only start light walks once your doctor confirms you are fully recovered.

You can drink warm tulsi-ginger tea to help soothe your body during a 2-3 day fever. However, if the fever persists past 3 days or if you experience severe shivering, please see a doctor immediately.

I had a fever last month that lasted for 5 days and turned out to be typhoid. My advice is to wait maximum 3 days; if it doesn't break, get your blood tested on your doctor's advice.

A fever should ideally not go beyond 3 days. For your own safety, please get a professional medical consultation if the fever is persistent or high.
