Adults usually do not get a fever with a cold, it is more likely to be the flu, sinus infection, or another infection when there is a high fever and cold symptoms. There may be a low grade fever of 99-100F in adults with a cold. Higher fevers usually indicate a more serious infection, unless in children, who can have higher fevers than adults with the common cold and require examination by a health care professional to evaluate the fever and symptoms.
