Can a 11 month old baby run a fever from getting a slinter in his finger and we didn't know about it?

Splinter: This would be unusual. Of course, there is the possibility that the initially undiscovered splinter caused a skin infection that triggered the fever. However, in the absence of any signs of infection at the site, this would be unlikely. The more common cause would be a viral illness, or possibly a bacterial illness. I recommend consulting with your pediatrician about the fever.
