Can A Fever Result In Hallucination When Suffering From Bronchitis?
My almost 10 year son has been suffering from bronchitis. He has a developed a fever. He went to bed and has just woken up and said that he is frightened by the voices in his head. He said he could still hear them when he speaking to us. Can a fever result in hallucinations?

Fever can lead hallucination, but chances of visual are more. In your son case, may be due to underline throat infection, he has hearing of voice that may be tinnitus. Hallucination are completely different from tinnitus. Hallucination is perceptive disorder and tinnitus is ear disorder. consult a physician for that.
