Hi, my daughter has a mild fever of 100.6. She s been complaining of headaches and dizziness. She says she feels like she s spinning and is going to fall backwards. She has also been vomiting. Is this some kind of bacterial or viral infection and is it serious? Should I take her to her pediatrician?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of mild fever, dizziness and headaches which is because you are suffering from viral infection. It could be due to co-infection bacterial infection / upper respiratory tract infection as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antipyretics for fever relief such as calpol, paracetamol or adol suppositories acetaminophen.If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Take throat lozenges as well. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay . Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants. Give child multivitamin tablets. Gargle with saline water. take steam inhalation. Use mist humidifiers in room.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
