Can you have a fever and not be sick?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. In some cases people have infections without showing a fever or they show a fever later in the progression of the infection. You can have numerous other health issues and not have a fever. Fever is a very general symptom same as headache, stomache, nausea, etc.

Answer 2

Say you've just been exercising a lot and its a really hot, humid summer day. Your body temperature does go up, but your not necessarily sick, it's not a fever either, its just temporary. So, to have an actual fever, you have to be sick. Your body heats up because its trying to make whatever germs or bugs you've got die in a hostile environment. The Body Wonderful, right? The bugs can't survive in a temperature that hot. To sum it up, no. you have to be sick to have a fever because your body naturally heats up when you've got germs inside you. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

YES! I'm dealing with that right now. I have had no fever but I've been coughing until I throw up. I can feel the phlegm popping in my chest when I cough, but I have no other symptoms other than a sinus headache. I don't have Asthma and I don't have Allergies, and I know it's a cold because my son just went through the same thing, and he's fine now. So YES! And unfortunately, you just have to get over it. Take lots of vitamin C, Garlic, Echinasia, and oil of Oregano can be helpful too. But there's no miracle, everything you take will just help you get over it faster.
