Hello my 23 month old son fell on the pavement today and bumped his head he has a bump/bruise some swelling and a scrape where his head is hurt. We are wondering if he may have a concussion? or will he be fine. he is sleeping now but should he be or should we wake him? Also he was up last night with a fever. ( I think from teething) if he has a fever again can we give baby tylenol or no as we are worried about his head? Should we go to emerg? He is acting normal and eating etc.
HiT hanks for writing to us. The bump is just a blood clot. Fever after head injury needs clinical examination and neuroimaging if required. Take him to emergency without delay. Tylenol can be given meanwhileWishing good healthRegards Chat Doctor.
