[|Human|] I have a 9 yr old scar on my right leg where both bones were broken and fixed with a titanium rod. Out of no where it is red puffy and hot to the touch and hurts on the inside. This just started Tuesday. I also have been shivering at the same time every night when I took my temp last night it was 102 now it is 100
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor.redness and puffiness with pain and discomfort indicate infection in scar. So you need to consult to your surgeon for local examination to know the extent of infection. Ignorance can increase the infection to systemically. If pus was formed you need to undergo surgical intervention to evacuate it . SO immediately consult to your surgeon. Presently for fever and pain you can take Tab Aceclophenac 100 mg with paracetamol 500 mg. As and when required .
