Low-grade fevers weeks after COVID: Is this common with long COVID?

I as well have this persistent low grade fever. I tested positive for covid on 6/3/20. I was very ill for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks I returned to normal. On the 3rd week I started having intermittent low grade fever. My temperature now fluctuates, staying normal (98.2) for an hour or so then jumps to 99.0-100.2 for several hours . Today is day 57 of this intermittent low grade fever. When my temperature is normal I feel ok but still weak. When I have the low grade fever I feel very weak and is accompanied by an headache. I should also mention I have slight wheezing when I breathe in. Also when I take deep breaths I have a uncomfortable pressure on the right side of my chest almost as if something is lodged. I am 38 years old male, I have always been healthy and active. I hope this is temporary.

This is almost exactly what happens to me….though at times I also have chills with my fevers. It’s been exhausting.

Any Advise welcome....Had mild case of covid in November 2021 (9 months ago!) Every day 2:30-3:00pm I run a .5 - 1 degree of fever & get fatigued to the point of not being able to stay awake. "Dirty Ashtray" smell has returned. Dr said these were long term affects.....anyone have OTC beneficial advise?

I was shared there was still some post covid lung inflammation in part of my left lung even after 1.5 months. I have some phlegm and Daily fever 0.5-1 fever. Fatigue just knock me out when it’s +1. Started on a week of Dexamethasone since 3 days ago. Seems to help stabilising my fever for now BUT not certain will eliminate the remnant lung inflammation deep inside the lung so soon.

Wow! I, too, have this low grade fever of 99. I contracted Covid on 6/8/2022. On one day my fever reached 103.4, but eventually returned to the "normal" of 98.6 However, my normal temperature was never 98.6. Ever since having Covid, I spike these 99 degree fevers, but never as much as 100 degrees.
I have tried to research this, and it does not seem to be a huge deal, at least from what I am finding. Since I didn't have a reason to take my temperature all the time before I got Covid, I have no way of knowing if the fever spikes pre-existed the Covid diagnosis.
Let us know if you find out anything about this. Curious!

I tested positive with Covid 7/4/2022. Fever of 101 , sinus congestion, cough. Sick for 3 weeks. The 2nd and 3rd week I had low grade fever 99.0-99.6 along with extreme fatigue. Went to ER, got blood work and chest xray. Doc said lungs were clear but I probably had lung inflammation. I returned to normal after 5 weeks then started exercising, then 6th week strenuous exercise. After that my lungs started hurting, difficult talking, extreme fatigue and constant low grade fever, max 99.8. Gets worse upon mental or physical exertion. This went on for 2 weeks, contacted my PCP. He told me I probably overexerted myself. Scheduled a lung pulmonary function test for Oct 5th. In the meantime I'm struggling daily with fatigue, lung pain, and low grade fever. The only thing that helped I noticed was when I took vitamin c my temp would go down. So I started taking larger amounts spaced throughout the day and all my symptoms started improving. I also take a multivitamin and sublingual vitamin B12. I'm continuing with the vitamin C until my lung function test and we'll see how that goes.
