headaches and high temp?

[loopylou6]

this afternoon about 4ish my ds (8) was playing his computer in his room, i went to check on him and he was in bed crying he said he felt sick and had a really bad headache across his forehead, he was also very hot all over, he stillc ame down and ate some meat balls though, i gave him mediced and ibuprofen and sent him to bed in the dark, checked on him 20 mins later and he was a bit more chatty, since then he's been acting perfectly normal, my question is, can a one off headache cause a temp?

I would think he is coming down with the dose DS(6) has had for the last 10 days.

Lots of fluids..........lots of Calpol.

thanks brie, did that have the same symptoms? or do more appear

Chesty hacking cough..............total congestion it is a horrible dose.

ahh yes, ive just had this, i still have the cough, ds has been coughing but i thought he'd got off lightly coz he didnt have anymore symptoms, maybe he has it back to front, cough first then the headache etc

yep..theres a nasty virus doing the rounds with those symptoms, my dc's have had it.
