Introduction
Low-grade fever caused by COVID-19 generally refers to a mild fever due to novel coronavirus infection, typically ranging between 37.3°C and 38°C. A low-grade fever is defined as a body temperature, measured orally, falling within the range of 37.3°C to 38°C. Infection with the novel coronavirus can lead to respiratory tract infection and cause fever. In some patients, the condition may be mild or treated promptly, resulting in only a mild fever, classified as low-grade.

Low-grade fever typically means a body temperature between 37.3°C and 38°C when measured orally. Infection with the novel coronavirus, transmitted through close contact, aerosols, or shared items, commonly leads to respiratory infection and subsequent fever. Some patients may experience only mild symptoms or receive prompt treatment, resulting in a low-grade fever. However, if the low-grade fever persists for an extended period, it may still be accompanied by noticeable symptoms such as fatigue, decreased appetite, and muscle aches.
Physical methods are usually recommended to promote heat dissipation and regulate body temperature, such as applying cooling patches or performing warm water sponge baths.
