Hello
The symptoms you have described need to be addressed. It could be viral fever with severe headaches and body aches, but with stiff neck it could be meningitis, both of these conditions need hospital management. I would suggest that you take her to the hospital and get some blood tests to confirm the diagnosis.
wishing her good health. I would be happy to answer any more queries. Kindly rate the answer.
