Posted on Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Question: I am asking this for a friend in the Philippines. I quote "I had a bad headache every day - mostly at night. I always take a medicine as pain reliever. I can't take the pain and I always have a low fever at night" and "I don't know why it is always happening. I have bad headaches - always at night and I had a pain in the back of the neck. I had a low fever mostly at night. Nothing I can do but take medicine always. It relieves the pain but back again the next night"
