How Can severe Fever And Headache In A Child Be Treated?

My normally healthy 7 year old had a 102 temp on Monday. Low grade Tuesday morning at 100 and then normal in the afternoon. Normal on Wednesday. Now today, on Thursday her temp is 102.2 again. She says she is just tired and has a headache. I don t understand the fever and then ok for a day or two and then a fever again ?

according to historyyour baby is 7years old and fever is 102..its indicates it may be viral infection.. so you can do symptomatic treatment only which includes is to increase plenty of fluids intake, so that dehydration can be prevented n give lots of fruits n light healthy food to child.. give multivitamin syrup to child.. and do cold sponging if fever occurs.. in case if your child does not take fluids and food orally than u should immediately go to doctor.. or if fever is not settling and goes above 101degree
