Does Getting Hit On Head Cause Fever In Toddler?
My 20 month old fell and hit his head hard, he cried but not for long, he has a small egg in side of head, it s been an hour since the accident and now has a fever of 102, he does have runny nose, could it be a bug or fever from head injury? Should I take him to ER?

Hello
Look for one or more of these symptoms following any trauma to the head:
~loss of consciousness
~headache
~dizziness
~confusion
~nausea
~vomiting
~irritability
~drainage, clear or bloody, from his nose, mouth, or ears
I would advice you to visit a doctor to know the severity of the injury. whether it is external or internal.
Hope this answer helps
