Hello
Fever,headache,tummy upset can result from many conditions
1 Can be viral infections though they do not go on for more than a week usually
2-may be typhoid - needs blood work up.
3 can be tuberculosis
4 Urinary infection
He needs some blood tests,urine examination,xray chest( which will rule out pneumonia.) and needs reevaluation by the pediatrician.All the best
