Frequent fever after fracture surgery is mainly considered to be caused by hematoma absorption after fracture surgery. It can be treated by physical cooling and medication if necessary.
1. Physical hypothermia: after fracture surgery, there will be local hematoma, and fever often accompanies the absorption of hematoma, and the degree of fever is related to the size of hematoma and different individuals. Generally, the temperature will not exceed 38.5℃, at this time, you can apply cold compresses to the forehead, armpits and groin, or apply cooling patches, which can be generally controlled. After most of the hematoma is absorbed, the fever symptoms will be significantly improved.
2. Medication: For hematoma absorption when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, it is necessary to intervene through drugs, commonly used drugs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and so on.
It is also necessary to consider whether the wound is infected, if the indicators of inflammation, such as white blood cells increased significantly, diagnosed as infection also need antibiotics such as ofloxacin and other antibiotic treatment.
The use of drugs under the guidance of a doctor, do not unauthorized use of drugs.
