10 Stomach Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Fever
A fever is one of our body’s natural defenses against germs. Basically, if the body is too hot, then the heat can kill the germs, or at least slow them down. As such, they are an important part of the recovery process. You are likely to experience a fever when you have a stomach infection.
The fever that you get from a stomach infection is only likely to be mild, and fevers are not generally something to be concerned about anyway. Regardless, the fever should still be monitored in case it does rise to within dangerous levels. Paracetamol is usually effective at helping to keep a fever under control if needed.
