Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. These symptoms may indicate you have meningitis. This is an infection which can be viral or bacterial of the central nervous system.
Treatment needs to be started promptly. Therefore, I suggest you go to the ED as soon as you can for assessment.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
