What Does Recurring Fever In Infant After Falling Down From Bed Indicate?

My 8 month old fell/slid off the bed yesterday. He didn't cry much and didn't have any evidence of concussion or serious injury. A few hours afterward he developed a fever and it can back after the Tylenol wore off. He is not acting differently orl hurting anywhere, but the fever concerns me.

Hi
Welcome to the HCM

If your child looks okay to you and seems to be acting normally, chances are the fall didn't cause serious injury. Be thankful, but keep an eye on him. Continue to carefully observe your him for the next 24 hours, especially if he bumped or fell on his head.

Err on the side of caution: If you're uncomfortable with the severity of your child's fall — you think he must have gotten hurt — or if your child is acting irritable or confused or there is any restricted movement, take him to the doctor to get checked out.
