Can Exposure To Head Cause High Fever In Children?

My 6 yr old felt sick today after being outside in the heat. She now has a 102 fever. She complained of her head and legs hurting earlier. She says she feels better but she has a fever. Do u think she got overheated and if so, can that cause a fever?

exposure to sun for prolonged periods can cause hyperpyrexia due to dehydration...sometimes it can be an emergency and should be treated with adequate hydration.
