A member asked:

I have high fever & chills specially at night, is the high fever is a symptom of the emotional trauma?

Dr. Douglas Miller answered

Not likely: Fever is not generally a result of emotional states of any kind. Fever and chills usually indicate an infection, and sometimes are a signal of lymphoma or other cancers. See a doctor, tell him/her about the fever and chills, and get an evaluation.
