A headache and fever may be a sign of an infection that is localized to your brain and/or spinal cord, which forms your central nervous system. Examples include: meningitis, encephalitis, or a brain abscess. Systemic or whole body infections, such as the flu or early HIV symptoms, may also cause a headache and fever. This all being said, sometimes a headache and fever is a sign of a viral infection that needs to run its course. It can be hard to distinguish, though, so be sure to get it checked out.
Disease is most often characterized by sudden onset of high fever (temperature typically >102Â°F [39Â°C]) and joint pains. Other symptoms may include headache, myalgia, arthritis, conjunctivitis, nausea, vomiting, or a maculopapular rash. Fevers typically last from several days up to 1 week; the fever can be biphasic.
