Fell from bed.
My 8 month baby girl fell from bed which is at around the height of 1mtr, she fell on her back. Her bottom touched first then the back of her head, she started crying, there was no signs of bleeding, she was conscious, motor functions seemed fine, we could not feel any swelling around the head, she cried for few mins but then she was fine, playing just like before. But in the evening (after like 1-2 hours) she had a fever of around 100° and now i am worried, please help me with anything any information or knowledge. Please tell me if my baby is okay.

After a fall if the baby seems drowsy, sleepy or has persistent vomiting, these are the alarming signs when you need to be concerned. If the baby is active, taking feeds well, then its not an emmergency and you dont have to worry.
Next Steps
Give paracetamol drops 1ml and wait for fever to subside
