What Causes Diarrhoea And Low Grade Fever After Head Injury In Child?
My son fell and bumped his head on the same spot where he bumped his head yesterday. He now has diarrhea and a low grade fever. Should I be worried? Everywhere I have read says that those are not concussion symptoms, but they started right after he bumped his head again.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I think this symptoms are due to gastroenteritis..no association with head injury.
For this give him
Paracitamol for fever
Ors
And some antibiotics that will be sufficient.
If any danger signs appear like
Severe vomiting
Seizure
Headache severe
Any weakness
Unconsciousness.
Take him to er and consult a beurologist..
Hope this is helpful.
