My son tore his meniscus and his ACL 4 nights ago had the positive MRI scheduled for surgery this coming Monday which would be 7 days from injury to surgery. Now its Thurs. Night and he has a 101. Fever could it be from the knee injury or most likely a cold or virus?
Dear Friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your query in detail. Furthermore, I understand your concern. A knee injury is unlikely to cause Fever until and unless it is an open wound. The cause of fever is probably something else. It could be due to a Viral Infection. I would advise you to give her Paracetamol as on when required basis, if he continues to have fever, you should take him to a Physician. This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us. Stay Healthy
