Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Fever In A Child

Question: A week ago my 5 year old grandson got sick at school and vomited. His mom picked him up from school and said he had a fever. She gave him some ibuprofen and he said, mom my headaches gone.The next day I was watching him and he told me he reached for something and his hand felt asleep and when he got up he walked like an old man. Now today he vomited and says his head hurts.Is this something to be concerned with or am I just over reacting
