Learn what is alcohol withdrawal fever, why it happens, and whether fever associated with alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous.
Fever is a relatively common symptom of alcohol withdrawal. In most cases, fevers are low-grade (do not exceed beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and can be attributed to some sort of indirect infection or illness. Instances, where a fever has no determinable cause and persists for an extended period of time, can indicate that the alcohol detox process has taken a nasty turn. This symptom is associated with the most severe type of withdrawal commonly known as delirium tremens (DTs).
