Does ‘fever’ include chills?

[tldr]

I can’t get warm.

I strongly suspect I have a cold. We have all been sneezing. Everything I’m reading says sneezing = cold, not covid. But I can’t find chills anywhere, including on a list of cold symptoms.

I have heard of several people who have had chills as a symptom.

Especially early on and then Go on to develop others

What is your temperature? Chills can be a symptom of having a fever.

Often when your body is running a fever, you feel cold (but are actually hot).
Do you have a thermometer?
You probably do need to get tested though sorry.

Yes its fever or chills

I’m a totally normal temperature, I just don’t feel it!

I’m certain it’s a cold, but booking test anyhow.

Dh has had covid and he had cycles of chills and fever.

Yes we all had covid last week in my house and it was most definitely chills but no fever registering on a thermometer. We had the central heating on during the entire day for 4 days straight even with wearing layers, wrapped in blankets and wearing thick socks.

Especially if they're multiplying...

Chills are not multiplying and no control has been lost!

But I did book us tests.

Thanks!

Good job on booking the tests OP. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I had tonsillitis a couple of weeks back and had horrible chills, but my GP told me that's not a fever (I also took my temperature a few times and didn't have a fever)

I feel ludicrous because I’m sure it’s a cold and my goal has always been for us to be the last people in England to catch it so we’ve been really careful (but have DC in school so...)

Try not to feel ludicrous - you’d probably feel more ludicrous if you hadn’t tested because you were so sure it was a cold only to find out if was COVID once you have infected a load of people! You’re absolutely doing the right thing by testing.

It’s done now.

3 and a half hours from ‘hmmmm’ to being back home after testing. Can’t argue with that.
