Question : Yes thank you. I fell a week ago and obtain a nasty abrasion. It appears to be healing but I have started running a fever, have body aches and a bad headache. The headache is all in my eyes and I am light sensitive I typically never run fevers even with a bad cold. I woke up like this morning. I do not have a cough, runny nose no real cold symptoms

Brief Answer:
Can you upload an image for review?

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Fever following an abrasion could be related to an infection or simply an inflammatory reaction following the injury. I will suggest that you provide an image for review in order to tell whether there is an ongoing infection or not. This will help me make a call and guide you about this.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.
