What Causes Fever, Body Pain And Headache?
My 5 year had a 102 fever with body aches/pains and headache that come on quickly and slept most of the day 2 days ago. She woke up yesterday with no fever and feeling fine. Now last night before bed she complained of a headache and was burning up during the night.

This could be initially explained as a viral fever and prodrome but a persistent complaint and recurrence needs more elaborate work up and being a girl you should urinary infections has to be ruled out; a proper clean catch specimen of urine for culture has to be sent for analysis before you strat her on any antibiotics.

Hi there! I understand your concerns. Your daughter seems like she is having a viral fever with classic symptoms such as body pain and headache. Give her tylenol for the fever and/or body pain/headache. She should recover in a day or two.
Warning Signs:
1. She is lethargic/drowsy even when there is no fever
2. She refuses even liquids and is not drinking/eating anything
3. She has vomiting more than 5 times in a day
4. She is peeing less than once in 6 hours
If any of the above are there, take her to a pediatrician there. Hope she gets better soon!
