Can acid reflux cause fever?
I've been dealing with acid reflux off and on for a few months now, and sometimes I get a low-grade fever with it. Is this normal? Can acid reflux actually cause a fever, or should I be looking for something else?

In my experience, simple acid reflux does not cause a fever. If you have a high temperature along with stomach issues, it might be a bacterial gut infection or something else. Since I have high BP, I always monitor my vitals closely and consult my doctor whenever a fever pops up.
I have been managing GERD for years, and honestly, acid reflux itself never causes a fever. If you are running a temperature, you are likely dealing with food poisoning or a viral throat infection. Keep sipping warm water, eat light khichdi, and go get a proper diagnosis from a physician.
A fever is usually our body's natural way of fighting off an infection, while acidity is just a digestive imbalance. Please stay positive, rest your body, and eat simple, soothing foods. If the temperature doesn't come down, kindly visit a doctor to let them guide you.
Acidity can cause a warm feeling in the chest, but a real fever is a sign of infection. For mild reflux, drinking fennel water or cold milk works wonders. But for a fever, please don't rely on home remedies and visit a clinic to get the right medication.
My elders always told me that too much 'body heat' can cause discomfort, but a proper fever usually means an infection in the body. While ginger tea can calm your stomach, a fever needs a doctor's attention. Please visit a local clinic to get checked up safely.
Hey, don't worry too much. Acid reflux on its own won't cause a fever, so you might just have a mild viral flu or stomach infection alongside. Keep yourself hydrated, take rest, and please consult a doctor today so they can check what is causing the temperature.
Oh god, if I had a fever along with acid reflux, I would honestly start panicking and thinking it's some major internal infection. Please don't stress like me, but a fever definitely means there is something more than just acidity going on. Please get it checked by a doctor to be safe.
Bro, normal acidity doesn't give you a fever. If you have a temperature, it's probably a stomach bug or throat infection from that street food we all love. Better to skip the spicy stuff, drink lots of fluids, and consult a doctor if the fever stays.
