What Causes Nausea And Headache While Moving Head?

10 yr old boy nausea and head aches when he moves his head…fatigue….has been going on for weeks, treated with antibotics presuming a sinus infection. This is a nephew who lives in Arizona. I am thinking could be a number of other things like menigitis (sp?) He has not gotten better with antibotic treatment…they just changed the antibotic.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...I feel that this could be a vertigo as it is associated with positional change of the head. This is not meningitis as it cannot go on like this in a 10year old boy like this with out manifesting any other symptoms like seizures or altered sensorium. I suggest you get him evaluated by an ENT surgeon and then proceed as advised by him/her.
