What Causes Flesh Colored Rash On Face,arms And Stomach?

my 11 and a half month old came down with a mild fever this evening and im sure what is causing it. i initially thought it was one of two things. the first being that she bumped her head today on a wooden stool, hard but not extremely hard. a purple mark showed up right away but no raised bump. she cried a minute but long and has been eating, playing and napping normal. the other being that she was fed blueberries a few hours following the head bump and a few hours before i noticed the fever. she has had a mild reaction to blueberries every time shes eaten it, just a mild flesh colored rash on her face arms and belly for a day or two afterwards. (i did cut them out of her diet but they were fed to her on accident). could either the fall or blueberries be causing her fever?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
By your description it seems the child is allergic to blue berries. Kindly do not feed it to her even by accident, as far as possible.
Fever may be due to the berries as yo have described.
Chances of it due to head injury seems less.
But a constant vigil is advisable.
