Not All Fevers Show on the Thermometer!
Ever felt feverish, tired, or weak — but the thermometer reads normal?
As doctors, we often face skepticism when admitting such patients. Even insurance teams raise eyebrows!
But let’s clear the myth
* Autoimmune diseases, thyroid imbalances, deep-seated infections, post-viral syndromes, and even some cancers can cause fever-like symptoms without a recordable temperature spike.
*Some medicines (like steroids, NSAIDs) blunt the fever response.
* In many conditions, the body's thermostat is malfunctioning — the heat is real, even if the mercury isn’t.
* Diagnosis isn't always about the thermometer — it's about listening to the patient.
💬 Let's stop judging the patient's symptom just by a number on a device.
