If there is infectio: If there is infection with the injury it can cause fever - especially if there is infection of bones called osteomyelitis it is worrisome and needed a long term antibiotic treatment.

Yes, if infected: Direct injuries to a joint that get infected will almost certainly cause a febrile illness. Urgent appropriate treatment is mandatory to determine if a joint has become septic.

I'm having fever for 3days now and I just realized the cause. I think it's because of the fishbone I accidentally swallowed last week. I thought it was gone since I ate 3bananas that time just to push the bone down. Today I felt it again. What to do?
