What Is The Treatment For Fever, Irritation And Restlessness Inspite Of An Injury?

My son fell and stabbed his bottom (on his cheek) on a rusty bolt. He has been restless and irritable all day and now has a fever. I don t have a copy of his shot records and can t get it until tomorrow. I was going to take him to the ER to be sure he didn t have an infection. What do I do?

well you havent mentioned whether child could walk after the accident. anyway if the child could walk well and active after the accident also it is unlikely to be a fracture. child was irritable and restless may be due to the pain. you have to make sure whether the child is adequately pain relieved. get the wound cleaned well and dressed. since only 24 hours are passed it is unlikely you would get blood counts of infection. so it is better you go to Er with blood reports tomorrow. dont worry even if the fever is due to the wound with good cleaning and antibiotics it would heal in notime.
