My little girl was in a four wheeler accident last night at 6:30. we went to the emergency room and she had cuts and bruises, but seem to be ok. she just woke up from a nap and had 103.2 fever, is this something i should bring her back to the emergency room for???
Hi, thanks for writing in. firstly after an accident its important to review a child for post traumatic stress. it would be advisable to visit the child specialist regarding the fever. they might need to put her on antipyretics and antibiotics and probably a tetanus toxoid injection.
