What could cause my son to randomly spike a fever after playing?

My 7 year old son will be completely fine running around playing then all of a sudden gets tired and a really bad headache then spikes a fever. I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow but does anyone have any ideas to what this could possibly be?

Sounds like dehydration could be playing a part but of course he needs to see a doctor.

Honestly good luck my oldest days this and am always told it’s viral

I swear this happens to my 9 year old on a weekly basis :woman_facepalming:

Grandson had strep with those symptoms

Could have infection somewhere

My kids were like that and it all came down to a positive test of the flu🤦🏻‍♀️ and It did a full round in the house everybody had it🤦🏻‍♀️

Is he drinking enough water on a daily basis and taking breaks while playing?

No because we are not doctors, get your answer tomorrow and hopefully your kid is okay
