What Causes Headache, Chills And Fever To A 7 Year Old?
My daughter is 7, she came home from school with a headache. She fell asleep before dinner which is something she never does. She woke up with chills so I took her temp, it was 101.9. I gave her childrens advil when she went to bed so the temp wouldn't spike. It's morning now and she's still complaining of a headache and she still has a low grade fever. There is no coughing, no runny nose, just a headache and fever. What could this be?

Fever associated with headache is likely to be due to prodrome symptoms of viral fever, usually non-specific.
All that is required is symptomatic control of fever, maintaining hydration and nutrition.
