A member asked:

Headache, chills, fever, and muscle aches, though no coughing. how contagious am i?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell: This sounds like a viral illness, although without more detailed information cannot be sure. Nor can i be sure about whether you are likely to transmit this to others. Recommend you stay away from close contact with others until symptoms begin to regress.
