Headache and Migraine
A person may experience headache as a symptom of a fever. Headaches can cause mild to severe pain or discomfort in the head, neck and shoulder areas. Poor sleep and dehydration can worsen headaches, so it's important to stay hydrated and get lots of rest when fighting a fever.
Taking painkillers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may help ease the discomfort of a headache. Fevers may also trigger migraine headaches in people predisposed to them.
