Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Headache And Body Ache With High Fever?
My daughter (3 yrs & 5 months, 15.7 kg, Indian) woke up last night with a headache. She has had high fever since this afternoon and complains of ache in various parts of her body. We live in the U.K. and she has had all her vaccines, including the pre-school one.
The most common reason for fever and headache in this age group is self limiting viral illness. So, if your daughter has no other complaints like nausea, vomiting, lethargy, disorientation, rashes etc, start her on symptomatic management. You may give her acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup for fever episodes. Repeat the dose at 6-8 hourly interval if spikes persist. Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be given for headache as well.
In case she has other symptoms as I mentioned, consult your pediatrician for complete examination and laboratory work up if required.
