A member asked:
What could be the reasons why you can have flu without fever? is it a symptom of having a problem with the immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everyone is differen: Viral infection affects people in different ways. Some people may not even have symptoms, others become very ill. The fever is the result of the body mounting an immune response to the viral invasion and may possibly be related to how much is viral load is as well as how the body handles the invasion.
