Urgent medical attention needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Although most frequently children get fever due to viral infections, the given symptoms raise concern. Meningitis needs to be ruled out and you need to see a pediatrician urgently for the same.

Please do not ignore. This could be serious.
