What Causes Headache In A Child?

My three year old is complaining of headache in the front and back of head, his neck hurts and his ear hurts just behind the ear. He is running a slight fever and his face is flushed. Should I be concerned and have him checked at the clinic for menigitis?

Dear friend,after thoughtfully reading the case history of your child I wold say he is suffering from some infection which is causing him pain in head and neck region.neck pain in this age group always points to the meningitis.so i would say give the baby some antipyretic for his fever.and then go for a thorough check-up and blood investigation for meningitis under a bedside guidance of any paediatrician.my best wishes for your little one.thank you.
