Dd is 6yo. She has a severe headache and a fever. I took her to the doctors at teatime and was told she has a viral infection but to take care as her symptoms can be the start of something more serious ie meningitis. I was told to look for a rash that doesn't go when pressure is applied, sensitivity to light and a stiff neck. She is restless and still complaining that she has a headache. She has just said her neck feels stiff but im not sure if this is because she has just woken up.
I am not sure whether to just continue giving her paracetamol and ibuprofen as directed or if I should seek further advice either now or in the morning as the headache isnt shifting and she is so distressed. Thanks for any advice
