What Can Cause Pain In Neck After Post Viral Ataxia In Kids?

My 2 year old was released Friday from the hospital with what they concluded to be post viral ataxia after doing a Cat scan, and a lumbar puncture. He has been fine except for a crick in his neck and he threw up this afternoon is there cause to be alarmed or could this just be from a headache or pain???
