Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

The fever may not be related to that fall. There could be some other cause. Fall may not cause fever unless there is a wound which got infected.

Does your kid have cough, cold, burning urination, increased frequency of urination, sore throat etc?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
