10 Upper Respiratory Infection Symptoms

Symptom #8: Low Fever
Whenever we feel ill, we will often reach for a thermometer to see if we have a fever. A fever is a result of our natural immune system trying to make the body a difficult place for germs to survive. A fever will often come with many types of illness, including an upper respiratory infection.
While a fever will sometimes come with an upper respiratory infection, it is usually only mild at worst. Indeed, one reason why many people realize they have flu rather than a cold is because of the severity of the fever. However, particularly vulnerable patients should still be monitored in case the fever rises dangerously high.
