Why do I have a temperature with no other symptoms?!


Question: except a stomach ache? My temp is 101.


Answers: except a stomach ache? My temp is 101.

A fever tells you that your body is fighting an infection. A fever is not an illness, but a symptom of an illness.

So, your stomach ache is a symptom and the fever is telling you that there is an infection involved. You may have appendicitis or a mild form of food poisoning.

If your symptoms get worse, see your doctor or visit a hospital. You may need to take a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection involved.

Your immune system can do an adequate job with most minor infections, but we do sometimes need some help. High fevers can be dangerous and untreated infections can cause permanent damage.

I've always heard that when you run a fever, it is your body trying to fight off infection. You could have a stomach infection. If it persists, I would go to the doctor.

It might just be a hormone imbalance. Your body may be getting ready for the p word, and that throws everything off.
