Antibiotics Side Effect #6: Fevers

Fevers are one of the most common side effects associated with various medications. Antibiotics can also cause fevers in some people, as a result of an allergy or the immune system.

The immune system generally causes a fever because it perceives a pathogen in the body. It often perceives antibiotics as pathogens because they kill many of the healthy bacteria that live within us. For this reason, the immune system jacks up the temperature in our body in an effort to get rid of the perceived invader.
