Can reflux cause fever?
I've been dealing with chronic acid reflux for a while now. Sometimes, when my reflux is particularly bad, I feel a bit feverish. Is it possible for reflux to actually cause a low-grade fever?

Actually yaar, simple acid reflux shouldn't cause a fever at all. If you are having a high temperature along with acidity, it could be a stomach infection or something else entirely. Better to get it checked out by a doc instead of ignoring it.

Stay calm and keep a positive mind, as anxiety will only disturb your stomach more. A fever means your body's immune system is active, which is not a normal symptom of simple acid. Please take rest, drink warm water, and consult a medical professional for proper care.

As a diabetic, I know that infections can raise blood sugar levels and cause both fever and digestive issues. Do not ignore a fever, as it is never a direct result of simple acid reflux. Please monitor your sugar and consult your doctor immediately.

No, standard GERD or acid reflux never causes a fever. If you are running a temperature, you might be dealing with food poisoning or a viral throat infection that is also affecting your stomach. Skip the home remedies for now and go see your family physician.

Reflux by itself does not typically cause a fever. If you have a fever, it is a sign that your body is fighting some infection, possibly in your gut or respiratory tract. Please go to a clinic to get your blood and temperature checked properly.

I have been feeling very warm and having bad acidity since yesterday, and now I am panicking. Has anyone else experienced a fever with bad reflux, or is it completely unrelated? I think I need to see a doctor today because I am stressing out.
