Low-grade fever
People with stomach flu often experience a slight increase in body temperature. This rise in body temperature is known as a low-grade fever [7]. It is caused by the body’s immune system.
Stomach flu is caused by a pathogen. This pathogen usually triggers an immunological reaction while in the body. As the immune system tries to fight off the infection, it may cause the body’s temperature to rise above normal.
Conclusion
Stomach flu usually comes with very unpleasant symptoms. These symptoms can ruin your day, but they are not life-threatening. Given enough time, the infection will clear up on its own. You can also help this by using home treatments. If your symptoms last longer than 10 days, you should see a doctor.
