Probably not related: Many times a headache and fever can lead to a tender scalp. I usually have people tell me that their hair hurts is that what u mean? If so it should go away when u get better. If u mean that the bump hurts, u should have it looked at as it could b an infected cyst. This can cause head ache as well as fever. Have it looked at, start with ur pcp.

Lump head: Due to limits in space u provide limited information this lump is probably on the scalp like a cyst or infected hair follicle which is not causal for headache or fever have a friend look if not help see your doctor.
