(N/A) Yes,the vital functions of the body such as digestion are affected during fever.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that are most active at an optimum body temperature of approximately $37^{\circ}C$.
During fever,the body temperature rises above this optimum level.
This increase in temperature leads to the denaturation or reduced efficiency of enzymes,which disrupts the normal biochemical reactions,including the digestion process.
