Anything that causes a fever can cause a headache. If headache is prominent, & the absolutely only other symptom [no cough, myalgias, sore throat, nothing], consider serious CNS pathology. But unless the patient looks ill, temporize with antipyretics until the fever’s been present >3 days. Otherwise you’d be imaging or tapping everyone.
