Suggest Treatment For Headache And Low Grade Fever
We have a 5 year old boy who is perfectly healthy; however, last night he complained of a headache which he has never had. The headache was still bothering him this morning. He has a sniffle, occasional cough and a low grade fever. His fever has increased from 99 to 101 in the last few hours. He is just laying around kind of listless. Should we have him checked by a doctor or should we give him something at home and just watch him closely.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having viral infection giving rise to fever and headache as well.
Give him paracetamol or ibuprofen as and when required.
Within 2-3 days infection will subside giving him full recovery.
Give enough water and liquids.
Give him light diet.
Ok and take care.
