What Causes Swelling On The Head And Fever?

We think our son may have been pricked by some kind of thorn on his head. We were camping and walked where there are a lot of thorns. It is swollen, red, and he says it is painful when touched. He has a 101 temperature right now. Not sure if the temperature is related to the allergic reaction or if he has a slight cold.
