Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for the question. The most common diagnosis in a child of this age with a light fever is a viral syndrome. These are ultimately harmless and resolve on their own. The dizziness is most likely due to mild dehydration. Often when ill, fluid requirement increases. Dizziness results when we don't keep up with the increased requirement. If the symptoms worsen or persist over 2-3 days, I recommend consjlting with your doctor.
