I keep getting frequent stomach infections and low grade fever(100F). Got some tests done, CBC is normal except Hb 11.5, and ESR:50, CRP44. Doctor has prescribed Rifaximin and PPI. I get a persistent headache during the infection. There is a little infection in urine, stool test has also detected bacteria and i am awaiting culture reports. My query is Can Gastritis cause fever?
