Could Low Iron Cause Fever Off And On?

I have been running a fever off and on for the last few weeks - fever ranges from 99.5 to 101.5 - had blood work done turned out my white blood count was a little low not too bad; did more blood work and found out I my B12 is high and I m low on iron. Could this be causing the fever. I don t see the Dr for another 3 weeks and cannot get any answers when I call

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some other causes of fever like viral infection. Your vit b12 and iron level has no relation with your fever. So don't worry about that. Take treatment for low iron . You can take iron reach diet like jeggary, dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits etc. if needed also you can take oral or injectable iron. Take treatment for your fever according to your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
