Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Most often fever in children is due to viral cause. You have to give paracetamol or acetaminophen to bring down the temperature or to control the headache. However, if the headache persists, it might be a good idea to visit a doctor and to get him/her evaluated.
Giving steam inhalation should help if there is associated cough.
