If the patient has only fever, with a temperature around 37.3°C and no coughing symptoms, it is important to go to the fever clinic for screening promptly when the temperature exceeds 37.3°C. Fever, dry cough and malaise are the most common symptoms of novel coronavirus infection, but they are not always present. If you have a fever, you need to go for screening even if a cough is not present. Some patients may go directly to the stage of respiratory distress. In the early stage, as only fever without cough is present, the symptoms can be easily overlooked, and the disease may progress rapidly to the severe stage without timely treatment. Therefore, if there is a fever to be screened as early as possible, early diagnosis, early treatment, early intervention, the better the condition can be controlled. Once it becomes severe, there are fewer measures that can be taken and it is not easy to control the condition. So if you have a fever, seek medical attention promptly. Source: Dr. Yurai
