Is fever a symptom of covid?

My neighbour tested positive for Covid and now I'm feeling a little off, mostly body aches. I checked my temperature and it's a bit high. Is fever a common symptom of Covid, even now?

Yes, fever has been a very common and frequently reported symptom of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. However, it's important to remember that not everyone with COVID-19 develops a fever, and conversely, not every fever is due to COVID-19. If you have a fever along with other symptoms like cough, fatigue, or loss of taste/smell, it's best to get tested and consult a doctor.

Absolutely, fever is one of the most common signs of COVID-19. I've seen countless cases where fever was the first symptom. It's your body's immune system reacting. But remember, other illnesses also cause fever, so it's best to get tested and isolate if you suspect it. Keep monitoring your oxygen levels too.

Yeah, fever was definitely a major symptom for COVID for many people, including myself. It's your body fighting. If you get it, obviously no gym for a while! Focus on rest and hydration. Once the doctor gives a green light and you're feeling better, you can slowly get back to light walks and then full exercise. Don't rush it.

During the COVID times, fever was a very prominent symptom, yes. My family experienced it too. It is the body's natural response to the virus. But many other illnesses can also cause fever, so it is always best to get tested and consult the doctor for proper guidance. We followed the doctor's advice carefully.

Yeah, for sure! Fever was like, one of the main things everyone talked about for COVID. Like, if you had a fever, that was usually the first alert. But then again, a lot of things cause fever, so you still need to check for other symptoms or get tested to confirm. Don't just assume.

Oh, absolutely, fever was a very common symptom for COVID. I remember so many friends and family members who had it. It's your body's way of fighting the virus. If you're having fever along with things like cough, sore throat, or tiredness, it's a good idea to get tested and stay isolated until you know for sure.

Haan, bhai, fever toh COVID ka sabse pehla aur bada symptom tha. Bahut log ko hua tha. But abhi bhi agar fever ho, toh sirf COVID mat socho, aur bhi infections ho sakte hain. Test karwao aur doctor se pucho, wohi best hai.
