Answer

A fever on the back of the head is a common symptom in infants, which may be caused by innate factors such as malnutrition or injury at birth. Infants have weaker resistance and incomplete growth and development, so it may also be related to postnatal environmental factors. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician as soon as possible for a detailed examination and treatment, as early treatment can help with complete recovery and improvement.
