Does Bug Infection Cause Headache And Fever?
My husband and son experienced the same symptoms - a headache and fever - but my husbands headache is much more severe. He is feeling pressure in his forehead and we are wondering if we should take him to a doctor. My son is already starting to feel a bit better. These symptoms have been going on since yesterday morning. My sons school sent an email out today saying some kind of bug was going aroundd the school causing headaches and vomiting. My son vomited once. The school said others weren t experiencing a fever so we are just not sure if it is the same thing.

Hello,
It seems like a viral infection and it is contagious. It seems common and not a rare thing. You can use Tylenol or ibuprofen for headache and body ache. I think it can get better in 5 to 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
