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).
If you think you have a fever, the first thing to do is take your temperature. Several types of thermometers are available and they work in different ways. Oral (digital or manual) Axillary (digital or manual) Rectal (digital or manual) Tympanic (digital) - scans ear temperature. Temporal (digital) - scans skin on forehead.
