Suggest Medication For Fever And Concussion.

i had concussion 6 days ago, motorcycle accident where i was knocked out for a couple of hours. i signed myself out the hospital the same day, have been resting and sleeping most of the time. yesterday and today i had to walk/take public transportation for hours, and all of a sudden im getting a fever. should i be worried that this may be related the concussion i had?

No I don't think that the two things are related. There are trauma cases where there could be a fracture which would be favouring meningitis with fever but there would be other signs and symptoms be it for the fracture be it for the meningitis, so I don't think that is your case.
