Hello. Thank you for your question. Though fever and headache can often be treated with Children's Ibuprofin, these symptoms together may also indicate another illness, ie: Strep Throat. This is something that would require antibiotic. Therefore, I recommend you consult with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
