I wouldnt wait. I would take him to the ER now and call your ped. and let him know. The fact he is complaining about his eyes and lethagic and saying his head hurts is alarming!

Gemma I would bring him to th ER. Paige was in the ER 2 weeks ago. She too was complaining of a headache and had a high fever (no sensitivity to light) and the on call doctor told us to go right to the hospital. Thankfully, it wasnt mengingitis,b ut you have to be safe and go.
Ask Gab to bend his neck up and down, and side to side, if he says it hurts then thats not good. Thats what they did in the ER for Paige. Once she said it didnt hurt they ruled out meningitis. Kids with Meningitis often have neck pain.
