5. Fever

Not everyone with norovirus gets a fever, but it’s fairly common. If it shows up, it’s usually low-grade—just enough to make you feel achy, chilled, or worn down. In some cases, it comes with shivering or mild sweating.

While it’s uncomfortable, a slight fever means your body is doing what it’s supposed to: fighting off the virus. Rest and hydration are key. If a fever climbs higher or sticks around longer than a couple of days, it’s worth checking in with a doctor.

A digital thermometer shows a temperature of 39.2°C as it’s held near a young child’s head. With norovirus, a fever is fairly common and often low-grade, contributing to feelings of fatigue, chills, or mild sweating.
