6) Fever
Another common symptom of gallstones is fever, but this should be more a warning symptom than a preventative one. As we have discussed, gallstones get stuck in the bile duct and cause inflammation in the gallbladder. If the problem continues long enough, the gallbladder becomes infected, and the inflammation becomes worse. This is a complication of gallstones and might be a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgical removal of the gallstones along with the infected gallbladder.
Fever in the event of gallstone problems would be a persistent, high-grade fever, and would be accompanied with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting caused by the inflammation of the organ. This is a very dangerous clinical setting and requires urgent medical attention.
