Hello,
Fever with vomiting and headache points towards meningitis. So you cannot take risk and get her CT or MRI scan done to check for meningitis if present.
If no brain pathology than cause for headache should be searched like high blood pressure, low sugar etc apart from migraine.
If your doctor confirmed that headache is due to migraine than rizatriptan like higher medication for migraine can be prescribed.
If brain infection present in MRI scan than antibiotic needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
