[|Human|] Hi i ve been having fever for about 6days on and off and having severe cough which causes my chest to ache and feel numb. Also i ve released some blood this morning which is kinda like menstruation then it s gone. Is it because of my cough and fever? I have been diagnose last yr with UTI so im afraid that it will come back, isn t fever a sign of infection in the body?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Fever is part of the bodies inflammatory response which means that it can occur with infection, allergies or trauma though infection is the most common cause. Viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections can cause fever. Cough and colds are usually due to viral infections though in some cases, the symptoms can be due to bacterial infection requiring antibiotics. It is quite possible that the fever is due to your cough/cold. Infections can affect the menstrual cycle, so this may be the reason for the irregular bleeding that you noticed. At this stage, it can be monitored. I hope this helps
