Low-Grade Fever
Laryngitis on its own rarely causes high fevers, but it could cause a low-grade fever similar to what a cold may produce. Laryngitis symptoms that coincide with a high fever may signal another, more serious infection in the body.
Viral and bacterial infections trigger an immune system response that increases internal body temperatures, sometimes. This increase in temperature is meant to make the body uninhabitable for the viruses or bacteria making a person sick.5‘Fever.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 13 Apr. 2021, medlineplus.gov/fever.html
