How to tell if you have a fever?

Kal se thoda body warm lag raha hai. Kabhi kabhi shiver bhi hota hai. How to really know if it's a fever, or just feeling a bit unwell?

If you are feeling unusually cold, shivering, or have a hot forehead, you might have a fever. I always go to a trusted clinic to get it checked properly. If the reading is high, ask your doctor clearly about the exact medicine and dose instead of self-medicating.

You will feel super warm to the touch, get goosebumps, and your body might ache! Just use a digital thermometer under your tongue to get an accurate reading. Drink lots of water and rest up!

If your body temperature rises above 99°F, it is a fever. Along with feeling hot, look out for headaches or extreme fatigue. It is always safest to monitor it closely and visit a doctor if the fever stays for more than two days.

I know how miserable it feels when you are shivering under three blankets and your head is throbbing. Feeling hot but shivering is a classic sign of fever. Please rest well, keep yourself hydrated, and don't hesitate to seek medical help.

I just recovered from viral fever last week. I started feeling extremely cold, followed by a burning forehead and heavy muscle pain. Taking a proper thermometer reading is the only way to be sure, so keep one handy.

A fever is generally indicated by a body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, often accompanied by sweating, chills, and muscle aches. While monitoring at home is good, consulting a physician is best to find the underlying cause.

If you are feeling sluggish, have a warm forehead, and can't focus on work, it is likely a fever. Take your temperature with a digital thermometer, note it down, and do a quick online consult with your doctor to get the right advice immediately.
