Feeling feverish and exhausted? You’re not alone! It’s no secret that a fever can make you feel totally wiped out. From the aches and pains to the lack of energy, it’s enough to make anyone want to curl up in bed for days. But don’t worry - with some rest and relaxation, you’ll be back on your feet in no time!
Can A Fever Make You Tired? [Solved]
You may be feeling run-down, achy and exhausted if you have a fever. A low-grade fever below 100.4°F isn’t usually anything to worry about, but if your temp is higher than that, it’s considered high-grade and you should get in touch with your doctor pronto!
Temperature Increase: A fever is an increase in body temperature, usually above 100.4°F (38°C). It is a sign that the body is fighting off an infection or illness.
Immune System Activation: When the body has a fever, it activates its immune system to fight off the infection or illness causing it. This can lead to fatigue as the body works hard to fight off the infection or illness.
Dehydration: Fever can also cause dehydration, which can lead to tiredness and fatigue as well as other symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.
Medication Side Effects: Certain medications used to treat fevers may have side effects that cause tiredness and fatigue, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Sleep Deprivation: Having a fever can make it difficult for someone to get enough sleep due to discomfort from the fever itself or from other symptoms associated with it such as coughing or sweating excessively at night time which can disrupt sleep patterns leading to tiredness during the day time hours
Having a fever can really take it out of you - you feel exhausted and drained. It’s like your body is running on empty, and all you want to do is curl up in bed and sleep. Ugh, it’s the worst!
