HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the symptoms may be due to a problem with the sinuses.It is not likely related to a serious condition but it is understandable to be alarmed.

Fever is part of the body's inflammatory response meaning that it can occur with infection, allergies, trauma for example persons who recently have surgery (type of trauma) can have fever though no infection is present.

If it recurs, he should try and be seen at the same time so that an accurate assessment can be made.

If it is related to the sinuses then using an anti histamine decongestant combination may be helpful along with a pain killer such as ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen.

I hope this helps
