Does lyme cause fever?
A friend of mine mentioned something about Lyme disease causing various symptoms, and I remember fever being one of them. Is fever a common symptom if someone has Lyme disease? Just curious to know more.

Bro, yes, fever is actually one of the first things that hit me when I got infected. It felt like a sudden, bad flu along with body aches and a weird rash. Definitely get a blood test done if you suspects this.

Any unexplained fever, especially if you have been outdoors or suspect a tick bite, needs immediate medical evaluation. Please don't wait for the symptoms to worsen or try self-medicating with normal paracetamol. Go get a proper clinical checkup.

Haan bhai, fever high or low can definitely happen with this sickness. Along with fever, there is usually a lot of weakness and body pain too. Do not ignore it and please show it to a good government doctor in your area soon.

I literally just finished my antibiotic course for this last week. The fever was coming and going for days, along with severe chills. Once the doctor started me on the right antibiotics, the fever subsided within 48 hours. Don't delay getting tested.

Oh god, yes, fever is a very common early symptom of Lyme! I always get so anxious reading about tick bites and how they can affect our body if not caught early. Please watch out for other symptoms like joint pain and go to a clinic immediately to be safe.
