One week ago , i have read in newspapers that a child 9 year old got high fever(40 C) , he was seen by a pediatrician , who gave him voltaren shot i.m , after that the child condition deteriorated rapidly and he became unconscious , he was rushed to the ER in another hospital where he has had CT scan head that revealed bleeding inside his brain with an associated bleeding from his nose and mouth, after being in intensive care unit for sometime the child died . There was a suspicion that H1N1is behind his fever and till now the cause of his internal bleeding that led to his death is unknown , could be this linked to voltaren shot he got in his ped. clinc as what the preliminary reports stated ?

i never heard of this drug but i just looked it up and the main side effect is sudden internal bleeding. it says that the bleeding can start without warning. and this was on the manufacturer's site!
