10 Symptoms of Parvovirus
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Fever
As the name suggests, parvovirus is caused by a virus. Our bodies don’t like it when an unwelcome virus is present and will usually react to expel, or even kill, the intruder. Our immune systems try to do this in various ways, one of which is to increase the body temperature.
It may not be much of a consolation to a child with a fever, but it is there to help. Fever is a common symptom of parvovirus but, fortunately, it should only be fairly mild. While generally harmless, the very young and the very weak should still be supervised closely.
