Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

There are a huge number of possibilities.

In view of the recent infection, there is a possibility of recurrence of the infection in another part of the body, like nervous system. There might be other infections affecting the nervous system like malaria.

There is a possibility that another infection has developed, like say a simple sinusitis that can cause both headache and fever.

A simple cold can cause both the symptoms.

Headache may be an associated feature of the fever.

She needs further examination and investigations. I therefore suggest that you have er examined by a physician as soon as possible

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. Best of luck.
