Answer :
The enzymes which are required for the digestion process are biological catalysts which are active only during the specific temperature range and at elevated temperatures the activity of enzymes is hampered. The optimum temperature for enzyme action is 298-310 K. Normally during the fever the temperature of the body is elevated and hence it is expected that the activity of the enzyme can be hampered during fever and hence digestion can also get affected.
