What are the symptoms of a fever?

The duration and severity of a fever vary, depending on the cause. Patients who have a fever may experience chills, increased sweating, shivering, and warm skin.

Additional symptoms: Additional symptoms may also be present, depending on the cause. For instance, if a viral infection, such as the flu, is causing a fever, additional symptoms may include a runny nose, sore throat, headache, aching joints and muscles, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms of hyperthermia may include confusion, lethargy, or even coma. In some cases, people suffer from hyperthermia may also have an extremely high body temperature without the ability to sweat.
