A member asked:

Have been getting low fever for past 5 days, so what might cause it in a normal person?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Could be dozens of different diagnoses. Would need to know what other symptoms you might be having, to whom or what you have been exposed, and lots of other information. Suspect this will clear up uneventfully and you will go back to normal. If not, see your local doctor.
