Should I Consult A Doctor As My Daughter Is Having Fever And Swelling In Cheek After A Fall?

My daughter fell and bit the inside of her cheek pretty bad. There is a big knot and her cheek is swollen and bruised. She has a low grade fever fever now, though she is acting normal and eating fine. Should I be concerned with the fever? Does she need to be checked by a doctor?

Hai...by what you quote it seems that she has developed a small bruising of trivial concern. Just give paracetamol & observe. If it starts increasing in size or bleeds..please see a dr.
