I've had a UTI for a couple of days now, and today I woke up with a mild fever. My mother said a UTI can cause fever, but I always thought it was just local discomfort. Is it common for UTIs to cause a fever?

I try to be very careful with health advice, but yes, a UTI can definitely cause a fever, especially if the infection is spreading. If you run a high fever, please don't wait and see a doctor right away.

Running a fever during a UTI is a clear clinical sign that the infection is spreading beyond the bladder. You will need a proper course of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, so please get a urine culture done soon.
