Doctor ruled out sinus,flu and strep.Had a ct scan done. right before the scan he was lethargic ,sobbing and crying acout his head. As soon as scan was done he jumped up talking excesssively. When we returned home we noticed his hands and feet were extremely cold for several hours. today he seems fine.Any suggestions?

Hi...this sort of abnormal sudden behavioural changes and talking excessively can occur in -
1. Migraine with de javu phenomenon
2. Frontal lobe tumours
I suggest based on the CT scan brain report you consult your pediatrician and if anything is abnormal he might require an MRI brain.
