Hi...Can understand your concern...As per your query about your six year old child having high fever with vomiting and headache after bitten by a mosquito should not be taken lightly as fever of 103 degrees is high and can be dangerous for a child.I suggest you to immediately consult a doctor or emergency room for proper care and management and blood investigations are needed to know the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
