Anyone get a low grade fever for a few days and freak out thinking it’s covid? I had one for 2 days. Today is day 3 and the fever seems to be gone but my body is so tired and I have no motivation to work or think if that makes sense. Just wanna see if anyone has had similar experiences. Only other symptom is inflamed tonsils

There are covid cases where main symptoms go away but oxygen levels drop sharply, which can be dangerous.

Suggest you get a test or at least get your oxygen level checked (can buy a home device) No need to freak out, get facts. You’re most likely fine.

I got a fever in April and thought I def had covid. Did antibody test last month. Sadly I was sick for a week for nothing

Definitively get tested!

You could just be run down with a run-of-the-mill viral infection. You should take a day off and rest in bed. If you don’t feel better the next day, get tested. Since COVID-19 I’ve been treating my body much better, and resting when my body feels a bit off or I have a low-grade fever. In olden times I would have powered through and gotten the whole office sick.

I've had a mild fever now for two days and am a bit lethargic otherwise no other symptoms.. am isolating in my room (living with parents)... i dunno if I shld go get tested..

I was severely exhausted at the beginning. Thought I had mono for a while (this was at the very beginning of March).

Def get tested if available but i read an article that fevers don’t always mean Covid. The most common symptom was loss of smell/taste so try to assess that daily. Either way, get tested obvi

You have the rona son

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
