Can an H. pylori stomach infection cause a mild fever, could my low-grade fever actually be COVID-19 despite negative test results, and are my blood test results normal while taking Nexpro RD, Augmentin, Pyloflush, Colimex, Pantocid, MPS O gel, and Librax?
Yes, an H. pylori infection can occasionally cause a low-grade fever as your immune system responds. While a negative COVID-19 test is reassuring, false negatives can happen early on; please monitor for any respiratory symptoms. Your prescribed medications, including antibiotics like Augmentin, acid reducers like Pantocid and Nexpro RD, and symptom-relievers like Colimex (which contains paracetamol and may temporarily mask a fever), are standard for treating this infection. It is common for blood tests to show minor, temporary fluctuations during an active infection or while taking these medications. You are on a comprehensive treatment plan, so please rest and consult your doctor to review your specific blood report.
