What Causes Fever And Dizziness In Child?
My 5-year-old daughter had a fever of 101.8 yesterday after I picked her up from school (she fell asleep on the way home. Unusual). She complained of her eyes hurting (they looked a little irritated), her head hurting, and has complained of her legs hurting for a few days. Today she was pretty passive, fever moved from normal to 100.8 and back down. Treating with Children s Motrin. Tonight at bedtime she said she felt like she was on a train going backwards (dizzy). Should I call her pediatrician in the morning, or send her to school if her fever is gone and she has no complaints of pain?

Dear parent,
By your description this seems to be a problem. We shall not over look complaints of children.
I will prefer you to visit your pediatrician rather than sending her to school
