Are hot flashes a symptom from a concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not typical: Brain injury can potentially cause problems with thermoregulation if there is injury to parts of the brain like the hypothalamus. This is a relatively rare cause of fever in the severely head injured patient. You should rule out infections.
