What Causes Fever After Falling Down?
2 yr old grandson ran into his 4 yr old sister making him fall backward onto hardwood floor . He began crying and vomiting. There was no apparent swelling. After 20 min or so began playing and seemed ok. Since then he appeared normal but apparently has virus per pediatrician and is running slight fever. Does this appear normal reaction

Hi... I don't think fever is related to the trivial head injury he has sustained. If he is acting normal - you need not worry.
I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.
