Fatigue and General Weakness
People with a fever commonly experience fatigue and general weakness. Fatigue occurs when a person is in a constant state of tiredness, regardless of how much sleep they get. The sudden onset of fatigue can be an early warning sign of a fever.
General weakness usually presents itself along with fatigue. Completing basic tasks can feel more difficult when the body feels excessive tiredness. Getting plenty of rest and avoiding overexertion is important to allow the body to heal quickly.
