Hello,
Yes, he needs to check up with the doctor.
High-grade fever with a headache could be due to viral fever, responded well to oral medicines, though recurred after effect of medicine weaned off so give every 6 to 8 hourly.
Visit your doctor to rule out other causes of fever, like gastritis or meningitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
