Can pe cause fever?

My father recently had a medical scare, and the doctor mentioned something about PE. Since then, he's also developed a fever. Could PE actually be a cause for fever in adults?

Our body has its own way of responding to major blocks, and fever is one of them. Please stay calm, keep a positive mind, but do not ignore this. A pulmonary embolism is serious, so please make sure you are under the care of a good doctor right away.

Yes, a pulmonary embolism can cause a low-grade fever due to inflammation in the lungs. However, PE is a major medical emergency. If you or someone else has PE symptoms along with fever, skip the online forums and go to the nearest hospital ER immediately.

When my relative had a low fever after being diagnosed with PE, we panicked thinking it was a new infection. But the doctor reassured us that a mild fever is a very common inflammatory response to the clot. Still, always keep your clinical team informed.

Beta, please understand that for something as serious as a blood clot in the lungs, home remedies will not work. While a mild fever can happen with PE, you must rely strictly on the medicines and blood thinners prescribed by your doctor. Please take proper rest.

Haan na, PE me fever aana thoda normal hai kyunki body me inflammation hota hai. But please isko halkey me mat lo. Agar breathing me problem ho rahi hai toh turant doctor ke paas jao na, bilkul risk mat lena.

In my years, I have seen that a blood clot can definitely cause the body temperature to rise slightly due to the body's natural defense mechanism. Do not be overly frightened, but ensure that the patient is under strict medical supervision and taking their prescribed thinners.

Look, let's not beat around the bush. PE is a serious condition and yes, it can cause a low-grade fever. If there is any chest pain or breathlessness along with it, don't wait around for replies here. Get to an emergency room immediately.
