Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Sudden onset of headache and eye pain in a 3 year old child, need to rule out acute causes like infections and chronic causes like refractive error.
If the child gas got fever then it is most probably because of infections and requires treatment by antibiotics. The refractive error requires treatment by refraction and correction.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
