Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Fever with headache can be a sign of meningitis.
However , high grade fever of 4 days requires investigations to rule out the cause.
I would suggest you to just give him paracetamol and do cold sponging.
Get him evaluated by your physician and get tested.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
