I called my doctor on April 8th because I had 100 degree fever. Because I didn't have anything going on she said she thought it was allergies and just told me to take over the counter meds and get plenty of fluids. It's now April 19th and I'm still fighting the fever because it comes and goes and a little bit of a cough. When I got off the phone with my doctor on the 8th I decided I'd treat it like COVID-19 because I didn't know. Now, I'll just be glad when it finally goes away.

    I'm not a doctor but I never heard of allergies producing a fever. I think you are doing the right thing. Hope you feel better soon.

      I haven't either. In all honesty, it feels a lot like bronchitis which I've had plenty of times but I can't remember having a fever with it either. I talked to her today and she said if is Covid-19 and it's been 14 days counting today, that I should be getting over it but she gave me a Z-pack and said if the fever didn't drop by Thursday to call and they would test so we'll see what happens. I just know I'm so tired of the fever and having to wear the mask and the coughing.

    this sounds very similar to me and I'm in week 4! Just finishing a course of antibiotics, and the fever is intermittent now. If you can get tested that's great as at least you'll know for sure.
