Could The Fever And Fussiness Than Normal Be Due To The Fall From The Couch?
My one month old accidentally rolled off the couch yesterday. He had no symptoms of a concussion and was fine the rest of the day. But today he has a slight fever and it fussier than normal he acts as though he is starving even after I have fed him more than his usual Amount. What could be wrong with him

Hi...he may be having milk pain in the area of impact. I don't think you should worry about the head injury unless he has - Vomiting continuously / Seizures / Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose / Unconsciousness / Altered sensorium or behavior. If he is fussy out of pain, you can give him - oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly.
