What Causes Fever With Headache?

My 8 year old girl, who's very healthy by the way, broke out with a fever about 24 hours ago. Today it reached 104 twice. We get it down by giving her Tylenol for children and a light warm bath but it bounced back up to 104 after a few hours. I'm concerned. She's still coherent but her head is hurting quite a bit and she's been really sleepy. Should I just keep monitoring her. She's my third child but I don't recall dealing with 104 degree fever for so long with my boys when they were younger.

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic

Fever with headache indicates infection. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Do consult your doctor for examination to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
