A slight temperature tells me that you are
probably fighting an infection, but I
can’t confirm that it is caused by a
type of Rickettsia. Digestive
disorders/symptoms are not typical for
Rickettsia-infections. High temperature
and exanthema (skin rash) are more common
for Rickettsia-infections.
Rickettsia-infection has to be proved
serologically or with agent isolation and
is then treated with antibiotics. For
constipation, you can use a laxative.
Paracetamol or aspirin will help lower the
temperature.
