Fever due to viral infection
-
High fever is not an illness in itself. In most cases it is a symptom of an underlying condition such as the flu or a viral infection. Although there are many non-infectious causes of fever, this is a common symptom of a viral infection. This is a disease caused by a virus and can affect different parts of the body such as the intestines, lungs, airways and so on. Other symptoms of a viral infection include headache, runny nose, hoarse throat, cough, aching muscles, stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting.
Symptoms
-
If you wake up with a fever in the morning, it is a good idea to visit your doctor to find out the cause. A virus has an incubation period so that the symptoms only become visible in the body after some time. One of the first signs of a viral infection is chills, so taking your body temperature for a minute isn't a bad idea. If the thermometer shows a temperature higher than 37 ° C, this could be a sign of a viral fever. In addition to fever, there are other symptoms that can manifest with a viral infection:
Viral vs bacterial fever
-
Viral and bacterial infections are often confused, although they are different. A viral infection is caused by a virus, while the bacterial variant is caused by a bacterium. Another difference is the feeling of illness which is worse with a bacterial infection than with the viral form, although it is always difficult to express how bad you do feel. It is not easy for a doctor to find out whether it is a viral or bacterial infection because the symptoms are very similar.

Fever
-
A viral infection may be accompanied by fever, but not in all cases. A bacterial infection, on the other hand, always causes a fever.
Sore throat
-
A viral infection is usually the culprit for a sore throat. The only bacterial pathogens that cause sore throats are streptococci, but in most cases, especially in teens and adults, the cause is viral.
Location
-
A typical viral disease is associated with widespread symptoms while a bacterial disease usually causes symptoms in a specific location such as chest, throat and sinuses. Prolonged ear pain, for example, may indicate a bacterial ear infection.

Treatment
-
Although a viral infection does not respond to antibiotics and usually largely disappears after five days, it is nevertheless recommended to consult a doctor as fever should always be treated. Some viral infections can cause complications such as pneumonia and other infections. Fever initially thought to be caused by a viral infection may also turn out to be bacterial afterwards.
