Brief Answer:
Please, go to the ER now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Please, these symptoms are suggestive of severe malaria. Malaria is common in Honduras and this is most likely cause of these symptoms. I will suggest that you take him urgently to the ER and insist that he be evaluated for malaria. Please, treat this as a matter of urgency.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and let me know how your son is doing.
