Could my mother?s recurring monthly fevers be caused by her kidney stone, or could they be a side effect of her rheumatoid arthritis medications, Prednisolinn and Hifenac-P?
It is highly possible the fevers are linked to her kidney stone, which can cause recurrent urinary tract infections. While her rheumatoid arthritis medications, Prednisolinn (prednisolone) and Hifenac-P (aceclofenac and paracetamol), do not directly cause fevers, prednisolone can suppress her immune system, making her more susceptible to infections. Additionally, the paracetamol in Hifenac-P might be temporarily masking these fevers. I gently recommend consulting her physician to check for any underlying infection.
