What Causes a Fever?
A fever—which is characterized by any increase in a person’s normal body temperature—can be caused by a variety of things, including:
- A virus such as influenza (the flu) or the common cold
- A bacterial infection like strep throat or a urinary tract infection (UTI)
- An inflammatory condition like rheumatoid arthritis
- A malignant tumor
- Heat exhaustion
- Certain immunizations, including the DTaP vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine
- Certain medications, including antibiotics and high blood pressure medication
In some cases, doctors can’t identify what’s causing a fever, in which case it may be referred to as a “fever of unknown origin.”
Fever Symptoms in COVID Patients
Although a fever can have countless potential causes, it’s possible that it may have resulted from COVID. Some other common symptoms of COVID include coughing, shortness of breath, and a new loss of smell or taste. If you think you might have been exposed to COVID, you can request a Virtual Visit from PhysicianOne Urgent Care. We’ll evaluate your symptoms and let you know whether you require further testing, which we offer at our local immediate care center.
