Kids will often refer to their head when they have sinus pain. The sinuses are located under the eyes, along the cheekbones and the forehead. Where is your child saying it hurts specifically? The fever indicates some sort of virus or infection so it leads me to believe your child has a sinus infection. If you press on those areas I mentioned above and your child says it hurts, that would be a sinus infection. Nasal drainage does not have to be present for a sinus infection.

Hope that helps!!
