What Is The Treatment For Fever And Headache?

Hello , I have developed a fever around yesterday , it is now up to 100 , and possibly higher (no thermomitar) my ribs are sore to touch , as well as left side of back. I have a sevre headache on the left side of head , and down to my ear. I have a slight sore throat when swollowing . It is not much of a concern at the moment , unless my headache persists , which is very painful.

Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.You have fever for 1 day with headache and earache on one side along with sore throat.This may be due to viral infection but headache and earache unilaterally is slightly unusual for it.As you did not have recurrent vomiting,seizure or loss of consciousness,it indicates that you do not have an intracranial abnormality.Next step for you should be to see an ear nose throat(ENT)specialist.
