Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I'm sorry to hear about your son. He sure must be going through lot of trouble. And yes you should take him to emergency. Those symptoms are also very much suggestive of dengue illness and he needs to get blood tests done to rule out any other infection too apart from dengue. Also if blood test is not suggestive , then an ultrasound abdomen is required. Take care.
