What Could Be The Reason For Having Fever And Headache?

I have been spiking a fever off 103 or higher off and on daily for over a week, I don't have any other symptoms except a headache with the fever and low energy. no body aches, no vomiting so I don't believe its the flu. im drinking lots of Gatorade, juice and water. when I first starting getting sick I had a lot of back pain but ive had 3 back surgeries so that can be typical . just in case it was kidneys or bladder I was drinking cranberry juice and Gatorade but there is no back pain now only high fever, Which can be controlled with advil and lots of fluids. any idea ??

Welcome to HCM.
Fever with no other typical symptoms for week should be diagnosed first by proper investigations.
You should go for cbc,urine,qbc,Swidal,sgpt,s.bilirubin to confirm the diagnosis.
Start treatment accordingly.
Otherwise take paracetamol round the clock to subside the fever.
Cold water sponging will be helpful to reduce the fever.
Drink more water and other liquids.
Consult your family physician with investigations for proper diagnosis and medical management.
