Patient's question:
The child got into a group fight at school and got their face swollen. On the third day, the child had a fever of over 38 degrees Celsius. After getting an injection, the fever subsided. On the third day, the child no longer had a fever but still had a severe headache. What could be the reason? I want to ask if it's related to the group fight. What specific tests should be done? (Male, 10 years old)Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question! Based on your description of the condition, the severe headache in your child is likely related to trauma. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a consultation with a neurosurgeon and have a brain CT scan. It would also be a good idea to check a complete blood count to determine the cause of the fever. The above suggestions are for the question "A child got into a fight with others at school and got their face swollen." I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
