Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your. you have CLL. so your fever may be due to that reasons or may be due to some other infection also. so you should investigate for your fever. for symptomatic relief of your headache and fever you can use drugs like paracetamol according to your doctors advice, it is much better for headache and fever rather than ibuprofen. both of them are not contraindicated. you can take it according to doctors advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts you can ask me further. I will be happy to answer you.
