What Could Have Cause Sudden Fever Along With Headache?
My 3 year old daughter was out swimming today in the sun. Sunscreen was used and she isn t really burned although her face is a little red. She started running a fever of 102 and complaining of headache. I started her off with Tylenol and she fell asleep and woke 5 hours later with continued fever so I gave Motrin . Could this be from the sun or something else ?

Hi
i appreciate your concern
Looking at her symptoms it seems to be case of viral fever that she might have contracted
I would like further details like running nose cough sore throat
give her cold sponging and plenty of lukewarm fluids
multivitamin supplements
give her tab pantoprazole 40 mg to avoid hyperacidity may be caused by drugs
warm saline gargles if sore throat is there
Hope this helps her
feel free to ask for follow up
take care
