Can a high fever cause another concussion?

I've had a fever of 101-103 for the past 3 days. I'm starting to feel like I've been hit in the head again. I can't make any sense out of what I'm saying to people and I feel detached from the world around me.

Could this have caused another concussion?

I have long considered a high fever as equivalent to a concussion, at least it causes concussion like symptoms.

High fever is a serious strain on nerve tissue. I suggest you take it easy for a few days and get plenty of fluids to help your system clean up.

How is Caleb with you so sick?
