Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

By what you quote it seem sot be a viral illness as headache and vomiting are common in viral illness. But vomiting associated with headache and not getting controlled by antiemetics and fresh appearance of rash over the body is suggestive of a viral exanthem and it could be a viral hemorrhagic fever too. I suggest you immediately consult your pediatrician.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
