Can you get a fever from a hangover?

Last night, I went out with friends and had a bit too much to drink. Today, I'm feeling terrible, not just headache and nausea, but also like I have a slight fever. Is this normal after a bad hangover?

Actually, severe dehydration from drinking can make you feel super warm, but a real fever is rare. Your body is just working overtime to flush out toxins. Drink plenty of electrolyte water and eat clean meals to recover.

Bro, yes, I have felt burning hot the morning after a heavy night of drinking. It is usually just extreme dehydration and lack of sleep making your body temperature go haywire. Just chug some coconut water and sleep it off.

At my age, even looking at a bottle of beer gives me a headache. A hangover can definitely make you feel feverish because the body cannot handle the toxins like it used to. Stick to lime water and vow never to drink again, until next weekend.

Haan, sometimes you feel like you have a fever because of the headache and body pain, na. But usually, it is just your body reacting to the alcohol. Take a nice warm shower, drink nimbu paani, and you will feel fine by evening.

Oh no! 🙈 That sounds like a really bad hangover! Your body is probably just super dehydrated. Try having some fresh watermelon juice or ORS to cool down your system. Get well soon!
