A member asked:

My daughter is 3years old. she fell at school yesterday and her leg has been sore. i gave her calpol for the pain. she's been crying and has a fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrisome: She should not have fever from a fall. Soreness would be expected but not a fever. If her fall was triggered by joint pain there may be reason to have her seen now. Test her joints by moving the limb through its normal range. If this triggers a lot of pain & her fever is over 38C, have her seen now. If not monitor as long as this doesn't spook you.
