I think you should meet a neurologist as soon as possible
What you just described could easily be a meningitis or meningoencephalitis
The typical symptoms of the condition are headache and fever
Sometimes even vomitting can occur
The child may need a mri brain and possibly a lumbar puncture thereafter for csf examination
The antibiotics can be started
Please get to a neurologist as soon as possible
This could be an emergency
Best of luck
