Can you have fever and no infection?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can. Sometimes you can get a fever without having other symptoms from certain over-the-counter medications. Other times, it can be a trigger that you are ABOUT to get sick. For example: The flu generally starts off with a low-grade fever (which is a temperature of 99-101 degrees measured orally) without any other symptoms present (You'll feel hot, but other than that nothing else). As other symptoms start to develop and they will develop unexpectedly (sudden onset), (sore throat, headache, dry cough, runny nose) your temperature will suddenly rise to 102 or higher (some people with the flu have reported fevers upwards to about 105 degrees).

Are tongue blisters that are painful and followed with fever a form of herpes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would assume a YES!!. Try going to the doctor the next time you get them so they can test you. Then you will know for sure Its hard to say. The first outbreak of herpes can come with a fever, swollen glands, sore throat and pain at the site of the outreak. However, herpes RARELY affects the tongue. See a doctor and they can tell you for sure.

Is 97.4 a fever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the accepted "normal" temperature for human adults; however, many people have slightly different normals. For example, I always run a little cooler body temp than normal (97.7). So, I would say 97.6 is perfectly normal.

How long does a UTI last?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

With treatment, usually around 2 or 3 days. Without antibiotics, they can last longer, but this is dangerous as you risk the infection traveling up into the kidneys and becoming much more serious--if this happens, you may need intravenous antibiotics and an overnight stay in the hospital. The best thing to do is to see your doctor as soon as you suspect a UTI. You can cut down the time by drinking lots of water and cranberry juice, or other cranberry supplements.

What does yellow fever do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yellow Fever begins with a severe headache, sensitivity to light and a sense of apprehension (that something bad is going to happen). Then the fever begins and terrible body aches set in along with extreme dizziness. The victim then begins to vomit black blood uncontrollably. The tongue swells and the face flushes as the fever continues to rise. Some victims will begin to gradually recover at this stage. Others will see a continued high fever with delirium and heart palpitations. For some, the fever will suddenly drop and the person will feel very normal, as if they have recovered, but this almost always means the victim is going to die. During this 'normal' phase, any sudden exertion will almost always cause a heart attack in the victim and any food eaten will cause organ failure. After a short while during which the patient feels perfectly healthy, the fever will suddenly return with violent convulsions. The organs in the body shut down and just before the victim dies, jaundice turns the skin and eyes a deep golden-yellow, thus the name 'yellow fever'.

What to eat when you have a fever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're running a fever, you should probably stay with clear liquids like water, tea, apple juice, ginger ale (room temperature) bread and buttermilk. According to WebMD, when a body is running a fever it is also dehydrating and needs fluids such as water, soups, and juices. Nothing was mentioned about bread and dairy products, so I respectfully disagree with those suggestions.
