Hai...you did right in observing him with a dose of paracetamol. Currently whatever fever you are describing seems to be a trivial viral illness. But with a history of head injury there are certain red flags which you should be aware of... Vomiting/ up rolling if eyes/ seizures/ incoherence/ loss of consciousness. Happy to help anytime in this regard.
