I think the fever is a nonspecific reaction to the inflammatory process of acute gouty arthritis. I have seen generalized aching along with the inflamed joint and high uric acid level. Taking allopurinol daily ( after the acute attack resolves) usually lowers uric acid and prevents gout attacks. There are other preventative measures if you don't tolerate allopurinol.
