Patient's question:
After falling, he fell asleep shortly afterward, and his spirits were still okay. However, after a day, he developed a high fever, had diarrhea, and was vomiting. Could this be due to the reason he couldn't move after the fall? The hospital doctor said it was a fever, and after treating him for a few days, he stopped having high fevers and stopped vomiting, but his spirits were still poor and he had no appetite. He was usually very lively, but these days he has become very quiet.History of Treatment and Effects: No specific treatment has been mentioned.
Assistance Needed: Is it likely that he couldn’t move due to the fall? If it’s hydrocephalus, would his head swell within a few days? Because he had his hair shaved off these past two days, I noticed his forehead is very thin.
Doctor's answer:
After treatment for fever, the temperature has risen, and appetite is poor.Suggestions: If it was caused by a fall, symptoms may include loss of appetite, dry retching, severe headache, and fever. If these symptoms are present, it is important to promptly undergo a head CT scan to rule out the possibility of a subdural hematoma. If the symptoms are stable, there is no cause for concern.
