What Causes Light Headedness, Nausea And Fever In A Child?
Both of my boys are healthy and active, 11 & 13. Neither have any health issues and are slim. They are complaining of lightheaded ness, headache, nausea & feverish, but they don t have fevers. It was not excessively hot today in school, but they have not improved in three hours. What should I give them?

hi madam
thank u for contacting us here
your boys have a similar problem ,at the same time ,that too without any fever...it's a bit strange,but I first would ask u few questions to rule factitious illness
1. as you have checked them ,n their temperature is normal,next would be just look all over the body fr any rashes..it could still be a viral eruption
2. ask your school about similar issues in children...it could be viral thing going around.
3. even ask them about any specific food intake outside
4. ask them separately abt any school issues like bullying if you strongly feel their symptoms to be fictitious
5. last but the most important,,,see ur family pediatrician at the earliest, which would actually solve this issues just in case they need blood checks
6. give dm hot supper ,soup with boiled veggies at short regular intervals....
regards
