Yes, infections often cause an increase in body temperature, known as fever. This is a natural response of the immune system to help fight off pathogens. The rise in temperature can enhance the body's ability to combat the infection by creating an environment less favorable for bacteria and viruses. However, not all infections result in fever, as individual responses can vary.

This rise in temperature makes the body feel hot.
