Is fever with food poisoning normal?

Had some street food last night and now I'm feeling really sick, vomiting and loose motions. Also have a low-grade fever. Is it normal to have a fever with food poisoning, or should I be more concerned?

Namaste. Sometimes, yes, a mild fever can accompany food poisoning. It's your body trying to fight off the infection. Focus on keeping yourself hydrated and resting well.

Oh no, food poisoning is the worst! I remember feeling feverish too last time it happened to me. Is that what generally happens? It made me so weak and worried.

I totally get it, food poisoning can be miserable. And yes, a low-grade fever is quite common as your body tries to combat the toxins. Just focus on bland foods and plenty of liquids.

Hey, don't worry too much. It's quite common for your body to develop a mild fever when you have food poisoning. It's a natural immune response. Just make sure you stay super hydrated and take rest, okay?

Beta, from my experience, haan, a slight fever can definitely come with food poisoning. Happened to me a few times when I was younger. Just take care, rest, and drink nimbu paani. If it gets high, then see the doctor.

I was just reading about this actually! Apparently, fever can be a symptom of food poisoning because your body's immune system is fighting off the bad stuff. So it seems pretty normal, but always good to keep an eye on it.
