Viral Fevers

Fevers are frequently an indication that your body is battling a bacterial or viral infection. Any fever that is brought on by a virus is considered a viral, bacterial, or fungus infection. Humans are susceptible to a wide range of viral illnesses, including the flu and the common cold. Many viral infections present with a low-grade fever as a symptom. However, some viral illnesses, like dengue fever, can raise fever levels.

Seasonal viral fevers are once again on the rise after the pandemic. But people are worried that such viral fevers could be contagious. While panic is unavoidable, it is essential to remember your symptoms to understand your illness better. After two years of the pandemic, India is at a stage where wearing a good-quality mask, maintaining social distancing, and sanitizing frequently will help you prevent COVID and other seasonal fevers as well.
