What Causes Fever, Severe Headache And Dizziness In A 10 Year Old?

My son is 10 years old. Has had fever for going on 3 days now. Out dr office has been closed for holidays. He has bad headache and dizziness when standing and has been laying down for over 2 days now. He also has a mild cough that sounds loosely congested. Does this warrant a trip to the ER?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of fever, severe headache and dizziness since 3 days which could be due to viral/ bacterial infection of body. It seems you have impaired immunity of your body. I would suggest you nothing to worry about it. You have to boost your immunity by taking multivitamins and diet rich in vitamin A. You should take soft and bland food. You should take fresh juices in diet. Avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. Try to divide your meals in small fractions rather than having bulk at a time. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Go for blood tests as well. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take plenty of fluids. Avoid taking any sharp and oily food substances .You should take NSAID medication along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
