My kitten fought a cat, is hurt, shaking, and won't eat. What's wrong?

Question

My kitten got into a fight with a larger street cat. Before I could check his condition, he was drinking milk from his mom so I didn't think much of his state since he seemed well. The next afternoon he was curled up in a ball and inactive which is entirely opposite of him. He was even shaking, we thought he mightve been traumatized.I examined him clearly to see wounds on his head, cheek and ear. Though I have treated them, he stays in his one spot and refuses to eat nor milk. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 27 days old | 2 lbs

This sign is very concerning and may eventually be in a life threatening condition. Fever or extreme discomfort may be present. I would strongly recommend an immediate check up to confirm this clinical suspicion and have the appropriate treatment performed. Antibiotics may be needed.
