An early symptom of covid19 is inability to smell; if you can smell garlic, you probably don't have it. Green tea is an anti viral. Women are less likely to get covid 19 than men, and typically don't get as sick. You are probably OK.

I've had a series of short-duration fevers over the last 2 weeks. No other applicable symptoms. It's random. I find myself feeling feverish and sit down and take my temperature. It has been anywhere from 99.4 to 99.8. Then, after an hour or 2, my temperature returns to 98.6.

Don't know what it means, just passing it along.

High fever with severe shortness of breath main symptoms, this is also allergy season

Gargle as well as google and drink lots of warm liquids please.

I take my temperature every day it is the smart thing to do.

AHHHH! I am sooooooooooooo there!!. I started with an eye irritation from getting soap in my eye in the shower yesterday. It's the eye that suffered a shingles out break in 2018. So I keep smelling things to make sure I can smell. I never was a good candidate for med school. My mom was an x-ray tech and one day I thought I'd read her book on all the conditions and illnesses that could befall a human. BAD move!!! LOL
I did use an antibiotic ointment on the eye and was able to sleep. So I'll see ( ) how the eye does today.

I have discovered that the hand sanitizer/disinfectants cause a general feeling of malaise for up to 24 hours after I go to the store for food. It was the increased level of use of those products I suspect that has made me so sensitive to them. So while I loathed shopping to start with it is now a fucking nightmare. I use rubber gloves now so my skin does not have direct contact with those chemicals.

Try and relax. OH!! I read an article a few weeks back that questions a temp of 98.6 as normal. The article postulates that almost all the tracking of humans temperature is done when they show up at a doctors office - meaning they are ill!!
As I mentioned my mom was an x-ray tech and she was always taking our temps. I have normal temp of 97.3 to 97.6, always have!!! When I have a temp of 98.9 I have a low grade fever. I still have a hard time getting that thru to my health care providers.
Have I distracted you yet? LOL
Be safe and do try to quiet the mind - HUGS from afar.

So, how are you today?(I think it is Sunday?)

Take care of yourself.

Hope you’re feeling better today...keep us updated. Probably not got the virus without raised temp.

How is your sense of smell and taste? Have they changed recently?

Don't worry about something you can't help, unless you start having a fever. It could just be allergies or something.

If you've been practicing social distancing and washing your hands, your chances of contracting covid-19 are drastically reduced. Worry/stress might lower your immune system, so don't worry about it just yet, hope for the best and get some rest.

Oh, let's hope not, but it is a worry.

Breath Gf..breath..

If you worked outside, or did deep cleaning you may have inhaled a bunch of irritants. If no fever, relax!

Stop smoking dat stuff......really, they are saying a fever and sweating are first, but that isn't a fact.
