HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fever occurs as a result of an inflammatory response, the most common being an infection though it can occur due to any severe trauma.
Since she is experiencing fever , dizziness and headache, it may be best for her to be evaluated by her doctor.
She may need imaging as well as blood tests to rule out an infection.
I hope this helps
