7. Fever and Chills: An Unexpected Duo
It’s not uncommon to associate fever and chills with the flu or a passing infection. But when these symptoms persist, especially in tandem with the others listed, it could indicate a porcelain gallbladder issue. Fever is the body’s natural response to fight off infections or inflammation. When the calcified gallbladder becomes inflamed or infected, it triggers a rise in body temperature.
But there’s more to it than just the warmth. Accompanying this fever are chills—a sudden cold sensation that makes you reach out for a blanket even on a warm day. It’s almost as if the body can’t decide if it’s hot or cold, leading to this juxtaposition of fever with chills.
The source of this fever and chills combo often lies in the body’s attempt to counter the inflammation in the gallbladder. It’s signaling that something’s amiss. While taking fever reducers might provide temporary relief, it’s merely masking the real problem.
It’s essential not to ignore these signs. While they might seem benign on the surface, in the context of a porcelain gallbladder, they are warning signals. Proper medical consultation can help pinpoint the issue and provide appropriate remedies. (7)
