Symptom #4: Fever
Characteristic for any infection really, fever is the one symptom that should be expected when we are talking about diverticulitis since it is an infection that causes the inflammation of the diverticula to develop.
It is not uncommon in cases of diverticulitis, for the patients to experience high fever - reaching up to 100.4 Fahrenheit or even higher in some cases. The fever can be accompanied by chills. Once you experience fever, that is the sign that you need to seek medical help right away. Luckily, fever is a symptom that is easily manageable. Once you begin taking proper antibiotics to sustain the present infection, your fever will go away.
