Hello
Your wife is having sever headache with high fever 104.1 degee F and severe pain during breathing and coughing.
These symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Pneumonia or pneumonitis ( consolidation ) on the right side lower lobe . This causes high grade fever with intense headache accompanying coughing .Diagnosis can be confirmed by Xray chest . Get in physical examination as this is important in this type of case.
2 Malaria is the 2nd most probable cause of such high grade fever with sever pain in head. Coughing may be associated with malaria . Usually very high grade fever and intense headache are characteristic features of malaria . As mild degree chills also present with malaria . Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood film .
3 Flu or common cold may be the another reason ,because sometimes due to bronchonstriction patient feels pain during breathing and coughing .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important.
Hope this will be helpful for you.
