Help! My 3 year old child has been complaining about her head hurting?

Question

She has had a low grade fever for about 6 days. She also has a cough and a couple times she says mommy my head hurts. She only says it once or twice and continues to play. I always FREAK when my kids say thing like this. I am freaking out and thinking things like she has a brain tumor. I know I am crazy. Has anyone's child had a cough and headahce this young?

Also my 20 month old son had a low grade fever for 9 days and is now better.

Answer 1

My daughter everytime she has strep throat has a cough and a headache.  I didn't know that a headache is a symptom of strep throat. My guess would be to talk to your child's dr.

Answer 2

Fever is a symptom of many things. See your pediatrician. Might be a flu or she may have an infection.
