A member asked:
Do colds always cause an elevated body temperature?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Frequently upper respiratory infections "colds" do not have a fever with them. They may have a mild fever but it usually isn't very high or long-lasting. If the cold leads to a sinus infection or bronchitis, there may be more fever or one that lasts longer.
