3. Mild Fever
Running a mild to moderate fever can also give you a clue that a URI is about to rear its ugly head. Rarely a fever that boils out of control, this early warning sign usually sees a person rise ever so slightly on their thermometer readings, just teetering out of normal realms.
It can be tempered with fever-reducing medications but once the fever sets in, however mild it may be, it usually isn’t long before the URI backs it up with full force. It’s like a rain cloud hovering over the town before a storm. It isn’t much to look at and it doesn’t require too many alterations to plans either, but as soon as the heavens open, you wish you’d paid it more attention and bought yourself an umbrella.
You won’t need an umbrella to help you get over a URI, but you could interpret the fever as a message telling you to stock up on pain killers and potions to help you beat the impending infection.
