Can Coughing, Runny Nose And Low Grade Temperature Be Signs Of Viral Fever?
I have been coughing, runny nose, low grade temp for most of the day it stay between 99.4-100.6 although last night it went up to 101.3. I did not take any fever reducer until 1:30 this afternoon when the temp went to 100.6. Before that it had stayed under 100 all day. I'm wondering if this is viral I did have a flu shot but I know I may still be able to get the flu.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
The symptoms you are experiencing most probably suggests viral fever.
I would advice you to take adequate rest for 1 week.
Drink plenty of fluids especially hot water.
Take paracetamol thrice daily.
Take antihistaminics and cough syrup.
Usually it will subside by 1 week.
Thank you.
