Break with headache, fever & vomiting?

Break with headache, fever & vomiting?

My 7 year old son broke his collar bone 7 days ago. Hes complained of a headache since the day after. He's now running a temp of 102 and is vomiting. Should I take him in to get checked out or is this just bad timing of the flu bug?

Hi there!

If he has associated difficulty in folding the neck towards the chest, I would suggest getting him to the ER; otherwise a primary care pediatrician would do. Meanwhile you could try using ice-packs and tylenol to bring the temperature down.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
