Madonna reportedly battled monthlong fever before being found unresponsive

She had a “Fever.”

Madonna battled a high temperature for a full month before her sudden hospitalization, according to a new report.

The Queen of Pop, 64, had been experiencing a lengthy, low-grade fever before being found unresponsive last Saturday, TMZ reported Thursday.

The outlet claimed Madonna ignored her symptoms and never saw a doctor because she was laser-focused on getting ready for her upcoming “Celebration” tour, which has since been postponed.

The Grammy winner’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, announced Wednesday that his A-list client had developed a “serious bacterial infection,” which landed her in the intensive care unit of a New York City hospital for several days.

A source claimed to TMZ that Madonna’s doctors believe the unreported fever was a sign of the infection, which purportedly worsened because it was left untreated — and because she was pushing herself to the limit.

Though Oseary told fans that Madge’s “health is improving” and “a full recovery is expected,” TMZ reported the infection is more serious than is being let on.

Per the outlet, those around the performer are worried she will not take the recommended amount of time to rest and recover before getting back to the grind, echoing our reporting that Madonna “doesn’t want to cancel her tour.”

Page Six exclusively reported that the “Vogue” singer had been “strenuously rehearsing” and “putting in 12-hour days” at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum for several weeks before her body gave in.

Insiders told us she was immediately rushed to the hospital, intubated and placed in the ICU.

We heard Madonna was extubated a few days later and moved from the critical care floor to a normal hospital room, where daughter Lourdes Leon, 26, remained by her side.

The superstar was discharged Wednesday night, which is when her sons, Rocco Ritchie, 22, and David Banda, 17, were photographed arriving at her Upper East Side residence.

CNN reported Thursday that Madonna had been transported to her home via a private ambulance; Page Six confirmed that a police escort was seen outside the property.
