Symptom #7: Fever
A fever is the body’s natural response when it detects a virus or pathogen that needs to be eliminated. Many viruses and bacteria don’t survive as well in higher temperatures, so by raising the temperature of the body, the immune system makes it easier to tackle and destroy the virus.
The fever caused by flu generally doesn’t reach any more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If you experience anything higher than that then you should see a doctor right away.
