What Causes Fever, Migraine, Stiffness In The Neck, Body Aches And Chills?
My 15 year old son was sick this past weekend. Fever over 102 and terrible migraine with a stiff neck, body aches and chills. He was at the ER twice and given a migraine cocktail and sent home both times with clean blood work. Since he felt ok for 2 days and now suddenly his fever is back and he s miserable again but no headache. They said he showed very small signs of meningitis but didn t want to do a spinal tap due to the extreme side affects he d feel for days after. Any suggestions to what this could be?
