What Causes Fever And Bump On Forehead After Head Injury?
My Daughter who just turned 4 days ago ran and tripped and fall hard on a wodden floor. We checked and she was completely fine except for the bruise and a small bump on her upper left forehead, 21 hours after she developed a mild fever...Is that something to worry about? Does it have to do with her head injury? I am soOoooo worried now...

Hello,
Fever is unlikely related to the head injury. As a first line management paracetamol can be given according to the body weight. If the baby is fine and feeding well, head injury is unlikely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
