Will the child have sequelae after falling from a height?

Patient's question:

A 1.5-year-old baby fell from a height of over one meter. At the time, there were no adverse reactions. More than ten days later, low fever reappeared, and it subsided after receiving injections. However, two days later, coughing and shortness of breath developed. Hello, is the child's condition due to fever, caused by the fall from a height, or due to tonsillitis?
Treatment history and effectiveness: Due to no adverse reactions at the time of the fall, no thorough examination was conducted. The low fever was reduced with two injections.
What kind of help is needed: Hello, is the child's condition due to fever, caused by the fall from a height, or due to tonsillitis? How should I treat it and what preventive measures should I take?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, the child's current high fever is more likely related to recent fever or tonsillitis. If a fall from a height results in a head injury, it may manifest as symptoms such as loss of consciousness or nausea. A fever lasting for more than ten days is generally not indicative of a head injury. The above is advice regarding the question "Will the child have sequelae after falling from a height?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
