An infection from rabies is fatal and there are no known survivors of rabies. So your brother surely does not have rabies infection. The mood swings might be because of his age or hormonal changes in his body. As for the headache you need to get it checked by a doctor for detailed evaluation. Also get his eyes checked by an opthalmologist, since he may require glasses because of any refractive errors in his eyes. Hope this helps a lot. Take care.
