Hi,

As the abscesses have resolved and WBC count is normal back, we need not worry. It is common to have some headache/loss of energy/poor appetite for few days after recovering from an infection. Just take simple analgesics like paracetamol or ibuprofen if severe, for 3 days (2-3 times a day after food).

Drink plenty of fluids (dehydration exacerbates headache) and have a soft, healthy diet. If headache persists beyond 3 days of these measures, your doctor will guide in further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
