What Causes Persistent Headache Along With Fever?
My daughter threw up this morning and had dry heaves several times today. She has only had a cup of sprite, ice chips and two crackers all day. She also has a headache. Earlier, no fever, but now she has a fever of 100-101 and I am wondering what, if anything, I can do?

Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with common causes like a migraine or a tension headache, as a first line management, you can try analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
