<s>[INST] If I have fever does it mean I have an infectious disease? [/INST] The fact that you have fever does not necessarily mean you have an infectious disease. However, many viral infections are spread from one person to another by means of drops of saliva and nasal secretions that are expelled from the mouth when coughing or sneezing (flu, measles, chickenpox, etc.). Therefore, in such cases, you should pay special attention to hand hygiene to prevent transmitting the infection to other people you live with. Source: CLINIC BARCELONA .
