Hi, My 1 yr and six mos old daughter fall from the bed yesterday morning, she got bruise in the forehead and fever at 8pm that night. I gave her paracetamol (calpol) at 8pm and 12 am, the fever went down at 1 am. She has no ferver the next day but she sweats a lot, I continue giving her the paracetamol until 8 pm today. She is in her normal activities, eat well and finished her milk. Should I still be worry? should I bring her to her pedia?

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your problem regarding to your child’s health.
These bruise type of external injuries are not very harmful so you need not to be worried.
This bruise injury is on her forehead. So,she might be having some impact on brain only if she will produce symptoms like nausea, vomiting, giddiness, severe headache, fall down while walking. If this happens, then immediately contact to neurophysician. So take care for 72 hours after an injury.
Your treatment of paracetamol (calpol) is proper and sweating occurs because of effect of paracetamol so no need to be worried. You can start to give her maximum liquid intake to maintain fluid level in the body.
After doing all these things, I hope your child will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.
Take Care,
Thank You.
