Absolutely not!: Something is seriously wrong. Take your child to the er right now> he/she has menningitis or encephalitis until proven otherwise. There is no time to waste. Please post back after the diagnosis is made. Thank you.

See doctor: A concussion doesn't typically cause fever. You want to make sure there is nothing else going on like meningitis or other infection.
