 [ Symptoms ] can a broken bone or a muscle tear cause a fever  my father fell a month ago and has been experiencing pain in the arm he fell on he will not go to a doctor because he does not have insurance just this week he said he had a sweating spell and has been feeling under the weather for a few days no other symptoms then he thinks he had a fever and even muscles in chest ache so i am not sure if he just caught some virus or if maybe something from his fell is trying to tell his body [ Disease ] whenever you have significant physical trauma that results in an injury inflammation will occur on the site where the most impact occurred when inflammation happens some people will develop a low grade 99 9 oral temperature fever due to the body working hard to heal itself sweating could be contributed to such a fever as you are warmer than usual as for the chest pain it could be associated with his arm being hurt but it depends on how he fell how far he fell and exactly how he landed he could have injured more than originally thought for temporary relief he should try r i c e rest ice compression elevation and perhaps some ibuprofen motrin advil to reduce swellingpainfever acetaminophine tylenol should be fine as well if that works better for him but it does not have an anti inflammatory component like ibuprofen does ultimately the best thing to do is to see a physician just to be certain that everything is alright and there is not something more serious occurring most urgent care facilities will see you same day with or without insurance emergency departments will as well but they are usually more congested and expensive i hope this helps best of luck to you
