Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever In An Infant Post Mild Head Injury?
my 20 month old grandbaby fell and hit the back of his head last night around 10 PM. He didn t black out or anything, I made sure to keep him from falling asleep for at least 30 after the fall. we played with lego s and he had no problem stacking them up. But, today 17 hrs later he is running a slight fever. could that be a result of the head injury?
I don't think this fever is related to head injury. I think it is just a coincidence. Anyway, it would have been better if you met a doctor to examine his head for possible injuries.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
