Question
Did the child’s fever the other night after falling down the stairs matter?
Answer
Fever can have various causes, with the most common being infections. A child’s fever might be due to respiratory infections or other causes, not necessarily directly related to the injury. A detailed examination should be conducted to determine the cause of the fever. Medications like ibuprofen can be taken to reduce fever, and symptomatic treatment should be administered. If the fever is infectious, corresponding antibiotic treatment may be required. Fever caused by an injury is often related to internal bleeding.
