Irritability
A fever can create discomfort and lead to irritability, which is a feeling of agitation or annoyance. It can cause a person to be more sensitive to stressful situations and easily bothered or frustrated by small things.
The discomfort brought on by other manifestations of fever, such as fatigue or headache, can give rise to irritability. Managing these other symptoms and getting plenty of rest may help curb the tension that causes irritability.
