What Causes Fever And Body Ache After A Buttock Injury?

My husband never gets sick. Last night he slipped at the top of our carpeted stairs and gell to the bottom. He immediately had a large dark bruise and swollen area on his butt cheek. He said he didn t hit his head. Today he is aching all over which we figured was normal but now he has a fever too and I m not set if it s correlated.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

In my opinion there seems to be an inflammatory reaction in his body which is causing the body aches and fever. This can be dealt with quite easily here are a few suggestions which will help him

1) He should take good rest.
2) Take tablet tylenol twice a day.
3) Ice the bruised area.
4) Drink ample water.

If fever keeps going for 2..3 days then cintact your doctor for further work up and start of further medication.



I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
