This morning she still has a headache and her temperature is 99.1 ? Any ideas on what this might be? Our doctor s office does not open up for another hour.

Pediatrician 's  Response
This could be viral infection. Give paracetamol syrup for fever every 4 hourly if fever persists. If fever persists then get child examined by a doctor.
