A member asked:
Since i cracked my ribs ive been getting chills 1-2 times a day, and it generally corresponds with increased rib pain. why the chills??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible infection: or inflammation. PLease get checked asap. Pneumonia is a common complication of fractured ribs, as is atlectasis and pleuritis. Get seen today. Get a chest x-ray.
