What Causes Dizziness And Fever?
My 9 year old is now on day 4 of feeling dizzy all day, she needs to keep lying down to feel good. she is eating enough and probably could drink a little more. she has had low fevers 100 and now is coughing. Is it really just the flu ? she has had about 1 hr yesterday of feeling good and standing up and walking around, but back to lying down today

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
Flu and fever can lead to dizziness by bloking sinuses ( air filled spaces in face bone). Moreover When flu and Throat infection involve middle ear, this can also affect balance perception of body and lead to dizziness.
Make your child as Comfortable as possible.
Give paracetamol Cetrizine normal saline nasal drops and steam inhalation
Good luck
Thank You
