viral fever range - #15842
I am starting to worry about this weird illness that’s been going around. A few weeks ago, I had this sudden onset of high fever, chills, and this awful fatigue. I was just sitting at home, and out of nowhere, boom! The temp just shot up like crazy. My doctor said it was viral fever but didn’t explain much about the viral fever range. Like, what exactly is the range for a viral fever? My fever went up to 103°F and stayed there for a few days, then finally dropped but I still felt horrible. Can viral fever range from low-grade fevers to high fevers like mine? I read that some people have just a mild fever and are fine in a couple of days, but it seems like I had the full experience. Is it normal for a viral fever to last more than a week? My doctor said to just rest and hydrate, but I feel like I’m in limbo not knowing what's going on with the viral fever range. I'm kinda just hoping it won't lead to something more serious, y’know? Anyone else had a really high fever and then felt sluggish for ages after? What was your viral fever range, and how did it go for you? Any advice or tips would be great.
