Headaches in Kids: I tell families to believe what they see from a young child, not what they hear. A child who complains of headache but remains playful/active is fine. If she's laying in bed all day with the lights off or has other symptoms with the headache (the fever two days ago would be less concerning than a fever now) then calling her doctor and discussing the symptoms with him is warranted.
