Should We Be Concerned About The Prolonged Low Fever With Cough And Headache?
My 8 year old son has been sick for 9 days and doesn't seem to be getting much better or worse for that matter. He had a low grade fever for a few days but mostly complaining with a cough and headache. He has been very lethargic, not at all his usual self. Should we be concerned?

A lot many times this can be early signs of Meningitis especially tubercular meningitis.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query, please ask me.
