10 Stomach Flu Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Fever
Fevers are another very common symptom of the stomach flu. A fever occurs when the body’s internal temperature rises above its regular level and can be indicative of a number of problems.
In this case, the fever usually occurs because of an immune response. In the stomach flu, temperature may be slightly elevated and can be accompanied by chills. This can present as a prodrome, before the onset of watery diarrhea. Note that high fever may suggest bacterial infection. Consult with a physician if you exhibit fever above 104 F (40 C).
