Hello,
From the available description, it is possible that child is suffering from either meningitis or encephalitis which is kind of serious central nervous system infection. There is a need to visit the ER as soon as possible and I think LP should be done to obtain CSF and further examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
