My little daughter is feeling a bit warm and cranky. I'm trying to figure out if it's just tiredness or if she's actually developing a fever. How do you know if you have a fever without a thermometer?

For me, it's usually when I suddenly lose interest in food! Like, my favourite biryani doesn't sound appealing, that's a big red flag. Also, body aches and feeling unusually tired. And of course, the trusty thermometer after that!

Simple. You feel hot, your body aches, sometimes shivers. Take a thermometer, check your temperature. If it's above 99-100 F, it's a fever. Don't overthink, just check it.

The body tells you, if you listen. You feel unusually warm, maybe a slight chill, and a general malaise. Sometimes a headache too. I usually feel it in my breath, it becomes a bit shallow. A thermometer confirms, but trust your body's signals first.

Usually, I just feel off, tired, body aches, and then touch my forehead. If it feels warm, I grab a digital thermometer. No time for guessing games, precise reading helps decide if I need to take medicine or just rest. Quick and efficient.

The main way is definitely a thermometer, it's the only accurate measure. Feeling warm, chills, body aches, headache, feeling tired are all common symptoms. But if you suspect, best to check your temp and consult a doctor if it's high or persistent. Always get it checked for safety, especially with all the new viruses around.
