Does Headache, Cold And Fever After Hitting Head Indicates Signs Of Concussion?

my 8 year old daughter came down with a bad headache yesterday afternoon and felt cold, but didn t have a temp. I gave her advil last night before bed and she woke up fine today. Then about 30 min. ago started complaining that her head really hurts again and she is cold and now has a temp of 100. She got hit in the head during gym class on Friday and the school nurse told me to look out for signs of a concussion. I am not sure if this is a bug or a possible concussion?
