Patient's question:
The child fell down the stairs the night before yesterday and cried on the spot. After being comforted, they stopped, just like usual. Last night at midnight, they developed a fever, which was reduced with medication. Today is normal. Does this fever have anything to do with it?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever are complex, but the most common issue is still due to infectious causes. The child's condition may be triggered by respiratory infections or similar issues, making it difficult to determine if it's caused by trauma. A thorough examination is needed to identify the exact cause of the fever. For fever, you can take ibuprofen to reduce it and provide symptomatic treatment. If the fever is infectious, targeted anti-infection treatment is required. Fever caused by trauma is usually triggered by internal bleeding.
