Is there a virus going around causing fevers and only mild cold symptoms?

As of my last update in September 2022, there was indeed a rise in certain respiratory viruses, including Human Metapneumovirus and Rhinovirus, which are known for causing mild illness, including fevers and cold symptoms. However, many common cold viruses continue to circulate at various times throughout the year, so the presence of a specific virus will depend on the ongoing seasonal and geographical patterns of infection.

It's important to note that since my knowledge is limited to data available up until September 2022, it's possible that new viruses or variants may have emerged since then. I recommend checking with your local public health agency or the World Health Organization (WHO) for the latest and most accurate information on circulating viruses and illnesses. If you have any concerns about your symptoms, it's best to consult a medical professional for proper diagnosis and guidance.
