Can There Be Fever Because Of Fall ?
i have a 1 yr old boy who is having a high fever at 39.4 degree celsius. He had a fall yesterday afternoon. He cried but seems normal afterwards... The fever started this afternoon and he vomitted once. I have given him paracetamol for it. His pupils seems okay.. no bruises on the head as I checked it. Could the fever be related to the fall that happened yesterday? I m very worried.. Please help me.

WElcome to the HCM,
Fevre may or may not be relatred with the fall. Be care ful about the persistant vomitings and severe headache.If so plse contact the ER.
Fever is to be taken care by the tap water sponging SOS.
Pleaty of liquids.
Paracetamol @ 15 mg perkg 4 to 6 hourly basis.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
