Was in motorcycle accident 4 days ago. Had small gash in my right knee. Have road rash on right hand / knuckles and forearm. Small scrape on chin. I m an EMT/FF. And my riding buddy is too. We irrigated the wounds. And put steri strips on my knee. And also sterile bandage and bactine ointment. I have been taking Vicodin/acetaminophen 5/325. And I silverdine cream for road rash. Ended up getting tetanus shot. Was checked out next day at walk in clinic. They said everything looked ok. But i am now having fever 99-100. Is this common after a bike crash?
