Can high fever and chill occur due to kidney stone?
I am suffering from kidney stones. Since the size of the stones is small, the nephrologist has not advised any surgery to have the same removed. I am suddenly having fever and chills off and on. Could this be triggered due to the kidney stones?

Fever and chills can happen if there is an infection of urinary tract. Sometimes stones can cause obstruction and there can be infection even involving the kidneys ( even a renal/ perinephric abscess can occur). It's important to get blood and urine cultures checked. Please call your doctor and see them asap
Yes for sure. That means a urinary tract infection is developing. A urine culture sample should be send to the lab and antibiotics started right away.
