Yes you can.

Depending on the person and infection, you may not show signs of a fever when you have a bacterial infection.

More experienced doctors can recognize the duration of your symptoms, or they may send you to do blood work.

I've had bacterial infections twice. I've had a upper lung infection, and the company doctor heard my lungs and the bad wheezing I had but still refused to give me anti-biotics because I had no fever and he didn't give me a blood test. I had to visit my family doctor and he gave me anti-biotics on the spot.

Recently I had a bacterial throat infection and because I'm in a different country and they didn't have my medical history, I had to go to the hospital to get my blood work done and I had an elevated white cell count and a high level of bacteria in my bloodstream. Once again, no fever.

It really depends on a person. I do realize that once I'm infected with a strain I'm not used to, I have no fever and it doesn't clear up unless I get antibiotics.

Best bet is, insist on a CBC blood test.
