10 Pancreatitis Symptoms
Symptom #4: Fever
Fever is considered any body temperature above 100.4 F (38 C˚). It may also be accompanied by shivering and headache. Patients with pancreatitis commonly present with fever. Moreover, approximately 76 percent of patients with acute pancreatitis report fever.
Remember that the sensation of warmth and discomfort associated with an elevation of body temperature is subjective and does not constitute accurate information about your condition when reporting it to your physician. Before reporting “fever” to your physician, remember to take your temperature with the use of a thermometer.
