Is It Normal To Get Fevers When Having Bad Migraines?
I suffer from bad migraines and am on preventatives. I ve had an ongoing on for the past 3 or 4 days that calms down & flairs up at times. Yesterday it got pretty bad & I think I had a fever, now my lips are cracked. Is it normal to get fevers with them? Seems like I ve been getting them with the migraines lately.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is not normal to have fever during migraine headache.
Fever is usually associated to inflammation or infection.
Besides, inflammation or infection can trigger migraine headaches.
I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate), to exclude possible infection or inflammation.
A sinus X ray study would help exclude possible sinus infection.
Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
