A fever can indicate that your body is actively fighting off an infection, such as food poisoning. A mild to moderate fever is common with many types of foodborne illnesses and can range from 100.4°F (38°C) to 102°F (38.9°C). In some cases, a high fever of 103°F (39.4°C) or higher may be a sign of a more severe infection that requires prompt medical attention.
Fever management typically involves taking over-the-counter fever-reducing medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as well as ensuring proper hydration by consuming clear fluids. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions or are already taking other medications.
