My 3 year old has a fever after stating she hit her head while jumping on a trampoline yesterday. There is a bruise located in between her eye just below her eyebrow. The fever is present at night. Her grandmother indicated that she fell asleep after returning home yesterday. It is also understood that she is suffering from a mild headache. This is the second night that the fever has been present. I woke her to give her Tylenol and the fever has subsided. Please advise.
Hi... I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal as she was behaving normally even after the injury. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give Tylenol in the suggested dose. Do not worry, but if any of the above-mentioned signs develop, please take her to the nearest emergency room. Regards -
