What are the signs and symptoms of an infection?
While fever may be the only symptom you have, it’s important that you know other signs and symptoms you might experience if an infection is looming. The CDC suggests you call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
- Fever- a temperature of 100.4° F or higher for more than 1 hour, or a one-time temperature of 101° F or higher.
- Chills and sweats
- Change in cough or new cough
- Sore throat or new mouth sore
- Shortness of breath
What can I do to protect myself against infections?
One of the best ways to prevent infections is to clean your hands often. This should include you, all members of your household, your doctors, nurses and anyone who comes into close contact with you. Don’t be afraid to ask people to wash their hands. Use soap and water to wash your hands, but it’s OK to use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
