Today I woke up w a bruise on my forehead and I have a fever of 100.6 that I cant get it to go away. Why would I have a fever

Hi,
As 100.6 is not a high fever to be considered. We need to check for other symptoms along with it. Usually after the head collision there might be some physiological changes leading to increase in temperature and it's a normal. Healing process. In case other symptoms arise than we need to look out for the blood routine and provide medications as needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
