Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Medications rarely cause fever. However, if he would develop a fever shortly after receiving his medications, this may signal an adverse reaction to the drug. I would like that you get the drug reviewed If this is the case. However, if the fever has no time relationship to the medications, it would be very unlikely. Fever for a month may represent an atypical lung infection. Please ask your doctors what precisely they are treating at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
