Suggest Medication For Fever And Bump On The Head Caused By A Fall
My husband dropped my 4 month old son. He cried a bit ate- a bump on head but pupils are dilating as normal and everything seems to be moving as normal- bump on head appears to be tender. He now has a fever of 101 but his sister was just sick- can fever be caused by this? Not sure what to do!

Fever is not likely to be caused by a bump on the head. Information that is important to know is: what height the fall was from, the surface landed on (i.e.concrete, carpet etc), the general state of behavior of the baby. Babies have open fontanelles which offer a level of protection from excess pressure.
Just in case, however, I would recommend you have a doctor check your baby.
