Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your history,  No, colonoscopy does not caue fever,it may be due to infection or decreased immunity. You may require antibiotics after consultation. Take balanced diet. keep yourself hydrated. Take care. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam B. Kale
