Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I would like to reassure you first that your son's symptoms are not related to meth exposure.
Most likley, this could be due to sinus or ear infection, and would improve soon.
In some cases, a childhood migraine could also present with similar features. If his headache does not improve, he should be given anti-migraine medications.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
