Hi there. Thank you for posting your question with XXXXXXX I will do my best to help you.

I am not sure. This could be any viral illness; particularly if he also has raised temp and fever. Just make sure that it's not meningitis. I am not trying to scare you but this is always a possibility.

I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help. If you have anymore questions please contact me again anytime.
