10 Bronchitis Symptoms

Symptom #7: Low Grade Fever
Fever is another common bronchitis symptom that is more common in children. Fever is one of the body’s defense mechanisms and usually sets in when the presence of viruses or bacteria threatens to interfere with the workings of the immune system. The rise in body temperature is meant to kill the viruses or bacteria causing the infection in the lungs. The rise in temperature causes shivers as the body works to readjust its temperature.
In most cases of bronchitis, the fever does not go beyond 100°F. However, when the fever goes beyond this point, it is recommended that you visit a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
