You can assess a fever based on symptoms without a thermometer while also looking at potential causative factors. So things to look out for are feeling extremely hot causing whole body sweats, followed by feeling insatiably cold, requiring layers of bedding and experiencing whole body shaking (rigors).
Ad. 2. Try to feel the skin of the person in question. If you're trying to self-diagnose fever, it's going to be hard to tell whether your temperature is at 98.7Â°F or at 101.2Â°F. You're probably better off trying to look for other symptoms of a fever (see below). If you're trying to diagnose fever in someone else, try feeling the temperature of your own skin and then quickly checking the temperature of the person in question's skin. 2  This should give you a good comparison for whether the person is feverish.
