My poor little guy got a big headache at Mass this morning, and now he has a fever. I don't know how high it, but he's pretty hot. I've looked in all my natural remedies books under fever and/or headache, but I can't find anything that has both symptoms. I was very surprised! The only thing I found was "if there is a fever with a headache, this means infection."

Does anyone know any remedies to treat the fever/headache? I have Belladona, Aconite and a few others. Any suggestions?

Thank you, and please say a little prayer for him. Poor baby.

I gave him Sambucol/Elderberry extract, which is an antiviral/antibacterial herb. I'm completely out of echinacea, and I don't know what fenugreek is

I did make him some chicken soup and he ate some and drank the broth, but it's the headache that's really bothering him. I'm so tempted to give him Motrin, but I want the fever to run it's course.

Thank you so much, especially for your prayers.

Ruth, is his neck stiff? Not to set off alarms, but if it is I would head to er and have him checked out.

Sorry, no advice on what to give him except a cold cloth or a cool bath.

No, no stiff neck. His fever actually broke after a very long nap. Now hid stomach hurts, and 2 others have stomach aches as well

I'm going to keep giving him the Elderberry extract 3 times a day, and pray the rest of them stay healthy.

Thank you for your advice. I always worry when they get a headache with a fever, but hopefull this will pass soon.

Whew! Glad the fever broke - hopefully he's now on the mend.
