Hi,
if you want me to answer your question directly if adenoids can cause fever I would say yes because they can be a nidus of infection.
But at the same time, the most common cause of fever in young children is not adenoidal hypertrophy but it is a simple viral illness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
