Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi,
please take your chilg to a pediatrician as soon as you can. your child might be having a serious infection, something called meningitis which needs to be ruled out & if present is a ver7y much treatable conditiion with i/v anti biotics. its always better to rule out such complicated condition rather than sit on it & think its normal cold. if he has fever its even more indicated to rule out meningitis.

ENT Specialist,  Dr. Puneet Maheshwari's  Response
Well if ur child has symptoms like high grade fever, vomiting, neck pain, excessive crying, lethargic, he might be suffering from meningitis or encephalitis. Consult a child specialist immediately.
HE WILL HAVE TO BE UNDER OBERVATION FOR FEW DAYS.
