Can gout cause a fever?
#1
Fever is not a common symptom of gout, but it is possible for gout to cause a low-grade fever. This can occur when an attack of gout leads to inflammation in the joint, which can cause the body's temperature to rise slightly. Additionally, gout can sometimes be mistaken for an infection, and if the joint is infected, a fever can occur.

However, it is more likely that a fever in someone with gout is due to another underlying condition, such as an infection elsewhere in the body. If you have a fever along with gout symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
