What Causes Spiking Fever With Headache And Stomach Ache?

Hello there, I have a question in reagrds to fever. My daughter was sent home from school Tuesday morning. she was not feeling well (headache and tunny ache) she came home and slept for 5 hrs. she then began to show signs of a fever. Wednesday we went to the doctors and got a precription for possible strep/mono. she has taken the precription once a day for 2 days now. I havent seen any improvment. My only concern is the fact she shows no other sign or symptoms of strep or mono - the only thing she has is a fever, and it will spike to 103.5 at some times. now it does come down with advil, but not on its own. Is there anything I could do ? could it be something else ? (not mono/strep)

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
One thing is sure that she has infection. Headache,stomachache and fever could be because of throat infection or gastrointestinal tract infection or due to viral fever,enteric fever.We can ascertain cause only after personally examining her.If fever doesn't show decreasing trend then she should be investigated to find out above causes.
At home you give her lots of water.Ensure good nutrition.Don't exert her.Don't give her fast food,chocolate, chips.
Happy to help you
Best regards
