How Can A Child Suffering From Headaches And High Temperature Be Treated Ideally?

My 5 year old daughter has been complaining her head hurts when she moves it. I just thought she slept wrong & she went sledding & came home & was still complaining her head hurts. She just laid on her bed(even though she had her friends staying the night) I went to give her a hug and she was burning up with a 102.3 temp. I'm starting to worry):

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
I think this temperature is something to worry about. It could be a bacterial infection involving the ear or any other part of the body, a viral or a parasitic infection like malaria depending on where you are. I would suggest you take her to a family doctor or pediatrician for proper assessment and management.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish her good health
