Brief Answer:
Tramadol can give fever but not so high.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service. I read your query and here is my advice.

Tramadol causes often mild fever and feeling unwell but not that high as 103.1F. This high fever is probably related to a bacterial infection.
Do you have other symptoms of an infection such pain or redness or swelling.
Probably you may need to stop Tramadol and consult doctor for any other pain medications you tapper pain.
You can take cocodamol or naproxen.
