default
Posted on Tue, 17 Mar 2015
Question: My 8 year old son came to me and stated that his right back side of his head felt like it popped. He is telling me he feels warm but no pain. Both of his ears are warm and red, but only halfway of the ears. After he heard the felt the pop he got nervous and vomited. Should I take him to the ER even though he appears ok with no pain?

Detailed Answer:
Hi.....1St I want to reassure you that as he's acting normal, you need not worry.

The symptoms you quote seem to me like an intracranial problem. Vomiting is another sign thatis related to intrcranial problem.

I suggest you take him to a physician and get him examined including a blood pressure.
