Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform

I can understand your concern.
Headache and body ache can be due to fever only but as there is associated dizziness and blurring of vision I would like to get him evaluated by a physician to rule out any possibility of infection in the brain.
In case there are clinical signs suggestive of brain infection (meningitis or meningoencephalitis ) further investigation and treatment like iv antibiotic will be needed.
I won't get overly worried if there are no signs suggestive of infection in the brain.
Here conservative treatment like antipyratic for fever,plenty of fluids,some analgesic for headache and body ache would help.
Some investigations may be needed to find out the cause of fever.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Thanks and regards
