Question
「A one-and-a-half-year-old baby fell from over a meter high without any adverse reactions at the time. More than ten days later, the child had a fever again, which subsided after receiving injections. However, two days later, the child developed asthma and coughing. Hello, is this fever due to the fall from height, or is it caused by tonsillitis? Previous treatment and outcomes: There were no adverse reactions after the fall, so no detailed examination was conducted. The fever was treated with two injections, and it subsided. What kind of help is needed: Hello, is this fever due to the fall from height, or is it caused by tonsillitis? How should I treat it and how can I prevent it?」
Answer
「Based on your description, the child’s current high fever is more likely related to the recent fever or tonsillitis. Since a fall from height can cause brain injury, symptoms may include loss of consciousness or dry heaves, but a fever lasting more than ten days is not typically a sign of brain injury. The above suggestions are for the question ‘Does a child falling from a height have long-term effects?’, hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health！」
