Fainting versus ????: I am surprised to see this question. I would hope that you got this man into a medical facility for evaluation and observation. First, we need to understand why the fever second, did this gentleman injure himself in the fall? Third, has this ever happened to him before? Fourth, is he on any medications? This worries me. If not already done so please get this man into health care asap.
