I can only share what happened to me when I had severe typhoid; my fever was so high that I couldn't even remember what day of the week it was. Once the doctor got my fever under control, my head cleared up completely. It was quite a scary experience.

I had no idea that a simple fever could cause confusion, that sounds really scary. Does this only happen when the temperature is very high, or can even a mild fever do this? I hope you are taking good care.

I know how absolutely terrifying it feels when you or a loved one starts acting confused during a fever; it makes your heart race with worry. It is a known effect of high body temperature, but validating that fear, it is always best to call a doctor right away for peace of mind.
