Suggest Treatment For Headache And Fever After Swimming

My daughter is 10 years old, 4ft 5in tall and 82 pounds. She has been experiencing headaches, dizziness, cough and fever for 8 days now. My first thought is a cold but her condition doesn t seem to be improving. Should I schedule a doctors appointment? Also the symptoms started the day after a long day of the swimming at surfing at the beach...not sure if that info is relevant.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
After eight days a viral illness such as a cold should be improving. She may be developing a pneumonia. I advise taking her to her doctor for an exam at this point. If that is not possible for you, please return so we can have someone meet with you online.
