What Causes Recurrent Fever After A Fall?
My son fell from bed heads on, and didn t vomit or pass out. However, we put him to sleep as this was his sleep time. After two hours he woke up, and we felt he had a fever. We gave him brufen. He got well and played, walked and watched what he likes. He is 13 months old. After 6 hours he had again a fever of around 100F. Could it be consussion and should he be taken to a doctor

Hi, according to me I think since the kid fell and did not have vommiting, indicates there is no concussion. The fever is incidental , which can occur after a fall. This is normal. Give the kid paracetamol, probably every 6 hours once. If even after two days fever does not subside, kindly visit your paediatrician....
Take care.
