Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your fever,headache and dizziness which is because you are suffering from viral infection. It could be due to co-infection bacterial infection / upper respiratory tract infection as well. I would suggest you to take antipyretics for fever relief such as calpol, paracetamol or adol suppositories acetaminophen. Gargle with saline water. take steam inhalation. Use mist humidifiers in room. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. Take throat lozenges as well. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay . Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test or virus culture test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants. Give child multivitamin tablets.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
