What are the symptoms of fever?

  Symptoms of fever include headache, joint pain, muscle pain, and a feeling of chills, but some patients may also have a feeling of heat.  Fever can be caused by a variety of factors, such as infections, chronic wasting diseases, burns, and other factors that can lead to an increase in body temperature. Infections can be accompanied by disease-related symptoms, such as coughing, phlegm and dyspnea in the case of pneumonia, sneezing, runny nose and sore throat in the case of viral colds, elevated body temperature and cough in the case of bronchitis, recurrent low fever, coughing, hemoptysis and night sweats in the case of tuberculosis, and fever and joint pain in the case of rheumatoid diseases. The pain is wandering and accumulates in the small joints.  If a patient has a fever with headache, joint pain, muscle pain and other symptoms, it is important to get adequate rest. Drinking more water can replenish fluids and help lower the body temperature.
