Patient's question:
My child is five years old. A day ago, he fell from a height of one meter. The CT scan showed no issues, but he has had a fever all day and is lacking energy. Could this be due to mild brain injury? I ask if a child's concussion can cause a fever?Doctor's answer:
Concussion often presents with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, tinnitus, insomnia, photophobia, difficulty concentrating, and slow reaction. It is not likely to be a concussion, but if you are not sure, you can go to a hospital in the county for a check-up. Some conditions can cause fever, while others may not, and there may be high fever. In addition, there may be symptoms such as photophobia, vomiting, dizziness, headache, short-term memory loss, and impaired consciousness. It is recommended to seek treatment immediately.
