Could my mother's returning high fever, which only goes down temporarily after taking Dolo 650, be caused by her arthritis or her arthritis medications, or is it due to another illness?
While certain inflammatory types of arthritis can cause a mild fever, a returning high fever is more commonly a sign of an underlying infection or, occasionally, a reaction to specific medications. Dolo 650 (paracetamol) only temporarily reduces her temperature without treating the underlying cause. Since some arthritis medications can affect the immune system, making infections more likely, it is very important to have her evaluated by a doctor. A physician can safely identify the exact cause and ensure she receives the correct treatment.
