Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should immediately consult pediatrician and rule out meningitis.
Signs of meningitis are
1. Fever
2. Nausea and vomiting
3. Headache
4. Difficulty in walking etc
And all these symptoms are present in your child.
So we need to rule out meningitis first.
So consult pediatrician immediately and get done clinical examination.
