Can a sore throat and fever be caused of your navel piercing?

Sore throat: If the naval piercing was done under sterile conditions, it isn't likely. However, if the procedure was done and sterile instruments or processes were not followed, you could certainly develop fevers and sore throat. You could have also been exposed to someone who had those same symptoms at the time of your navel piercing, even if done with the proper cleanliness.

Fever with infection: Check for signs of infection: ^'ed redness, warmth, swelling. ^'ed tenderness, pus, red streaking, swollen lymph nodes or fever. Recommend keeping piercing in place unless directed by Dr (if removed – drainage tract will close up w ^'ed risk of abscess formation). Call Dr for medical evaluation. Your Dr may prescribe oral antibiotics or antibiotic ointments to apply to piercing site.
