How long are you contagious after a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: Contagion, or the ability to transmit your illness to others, depends upon the causative organism and the duration of fever may or may not have any relationship to communicability. If we knew what illness you had, could answer this more specifically.
