What Causes Recurrent Fever While Suffering From Parkinson S Disease?

My husband has stage threw Parkinsons. He has pneumonia twice in the last four years, once hospitalized for it. He has a temp now of 101.4 and feels like the top of his head is coming off as he described the headache. He has taken ibuprofen but temp returns. What is considered a high temp for a Parkinson s patient?

Hello,

The temperature does not change with Parkinson's disease. A moderately high fever is the same regardless and that is concerning. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, 101 is serious.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
