What Causes Headache And Double Vision In Child?
My son (6 years old) He was sent home from school yesterday. He has a headache, was sick once and is now experiencing double vision. His temperature is 36.8.
He's usually bouncing off the walls, but has lay on the couch all day today.
Any thoughts on what this could be?
We're giving him him plenty water and the odd dose of paracetamol.

Hi...a 6 year old with double vision should not be ignored. That too a usually active kid is not his usual self and is on the couch all day. This too is a symptom which is a red flag. It could be an intra-cranial lesion due to double vision. I suggest you take him to the his pediatrician or nearest physician or emergency room immediately.
