Is the flu contagious without a fever?
My son has the flu, just a cough and sniffles, but no fever. Can he still give it to me or his mother? I'm a bit concerned since I have elderly parents living with us.

Yeah, bro, totally. Like, I had the flu last semester, no fever initially, just felt kinda crappy and had a cough. Next thing you know, my roommate also got it. So yeah, you can def spread it without feeling feverish.
Absolutely, even if there's no fever, a person with flu symptoms can still be contagious. This is why good hygiene like hand washing and covering coughs is important. Better to stay home if you're feeling unwell, even if it's just a mild cold.
Oh, please be careful. I once thought it was just a regular cold because I had no fever, but it turned into pneumonia. It's really best to see a doctor if you have flu-like symptoms, even without fever, to prevent complications, especially if you have other health issues.
Even without fever, flu can definitely spread. And for people with underlying conditions like thyroid issues, it's even more important to be careful. Always consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and guidance, and don't delay treatment. Keep your immune system strong.

Yes, it is possible to transmit the flu virus even before fever develops or if fever is absent altogether. This is why it's so tricky to contain. General advice is to isolate if you feel unwell and always consult a medical professional for accurate diagnosis and management.
