Hello sir, You really seems a very caring parent but one thing you need to know that fever in only a symptom, not a disease. If it is combined with runny nose or cough we can take it as due to common cold but as you mentioned only fever and headach it is most likely to be malaria. Please go to your doctor and get his blood tested foe proper diagnosis and further tretment. Till that continue sponging and giving crocin 250 1 tsf sos.
