What Causes Severe Fever And Fatigue In An Elderly Person?

My mother is 88 years old and is suddenly very fatigued and has a temperature of 100.7. Is there any reason to be greatly concerned? My feeling is for her to see how she feels in the morning unless there is significant change during the night. email i

Hi,

The fatigue is secondary to underlying fever.

The cause of fever needs co-relation with associated symptoms and lab tests in certain cases.

Kindly give her tablet Paracetamol and take an appointment with your GP at earliest.

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