Suggest Treatment For Headache, Fever And Nausea

My 17 yr old son,who never gets headaches,has had a headache for 3 days and yesterday developed a fever.If he takes ibuprofen or acetaminophen he feels better until the meds wear off.We took him to convenient care yesterday and he was given Augmentin as the PA didn t know the source of his infection and wanted a broad spectrum antibiotic due to his history of having pneumonia several times.He now says he is nauseated once in awhile(maybe due to Augmentin?) I am concerned about meningitis,and wondering if it warrants a visit to the ER? er gets headaches

Hello,

It may be due to viral fever.

For that you may require complete hemogram, peripheral smear for malarial parasite, dengue ns1 after physician consultation.

For fever you can take tablet acetaminophen.

For nausea you can take tablet ondensetron.

Keep your self hydrated.

Take hygienic food and water

Hope I have answered your query...
