A fever is the body’s way of warning you that something is off and can be a sign that your body is trying to fight an illness or infection. “For COVID-19, a high fever can be a presenting symptom, however there are other viruses to consider if fever is the only symptom,” says Renee Dougherty, D.O., a primary care physician with Hackensack Meridian Medical Group.

“Influenza is still prevalent and something to be considered in a patient with a fever. Additionally, some bacterial infections, such as strep throat can cause a fever as well, although additional symptoms are normally present.”

The CDC considers a person to have a fever when he or she has measured temperature of 100.4°F (38°C).

You’ve probably checked your temperature before and using a thermometer is a simple process, but do you know how to do it effectively?
