Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, that the fever you have should not be there has you just sprained it, fever is a sign of infection, and you need to go and see your doctor so that he can get some tests done and find out the cause of your symptoms,
there are chances that you may have sprained, but then collected blood at the site of sprain can get infected due to any blood born infection, so be careful and consult promptly
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
