Can Injury On Side Of Body And Finger Smashed Cause Fever In Kids?
My 5 year old daughter fell off the second step of a stool and complained of pain in her side. She was shaking a bit. She stopped complaining of pain and then wanted to play. She went out to play but there was a bit of a chill. She just got her fingers slammed in a door(talk about a bad day) and fell asleep when I was trying to ice her hand. She now seems to have a fever. I gave her Tylenol and water as she said she was thirsty. Is this fever just a bad coincidence??
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Fever may be due to infection of the crushed fingers and inflammatory reaction. Pain killers like Ibuprofen for immediate relief of pain and fever may help. Better start using an antibiotic with advice of your doctor. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
