What Causes Fever ?

My son tore his meniscus and his ACL 4 nights ago had the positive MRI scheduled for surgery this coming Monday which would be 7 days from injury to surgery. Now it's Thurs. Night and he has a 101. Fever could it be from the knee injury or most likely a cold or virus?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
A knee injury is unlikely to cause Fever until and unless it is an open wound.
The cause of fever is probably something else.
It could be due to a Viral Infection.
I would advise you to give her Paracetamol as on when required basis, if he continues to have fever, you should take him to a Physician.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
