Obviously it's an infection if there's fever. Viral is most common cause. Ensure hydration. Can give calpol upto 4 times a day. It may take around 7 days to heal. If getting worse, or there's cough or diarrhoea, then maybe bacterial and may need to take antibiotics.

Headache and fever are common signs of a viral infection or dehydration, but only a doctor can provide a definitive diagnosis. Ensure he stays well-hydrated, monitor his symptoms closely,
