Hi,
As your doctor has adviced i would strongly advice to get the blood tests done especially for malarial parasite as now a days the symptoms for malaria include headaches and fever with out chills.
If her tests come negative then she can also visit an opthalmologist and get her eye test done to be on the safer side.
Till her blood reports come , you can give her symptomatic treatment like analgesics and mild tranquliser along with rest is recommended.
Regards
