He's being very cranky the last few days & woke up and doesnt move his head to his right side. Should I be concerned?

Call your doctor. A stiff neck can be a symptom of different things. Of course it can just be a stiff neck, but definitely call to make sure.

Don't post about it on FB -get him to a doctor! High fever + neck stiffness can be serious.

Another sign of meningitis is sensitivity to light. I agree with everyone else -- doctor or ER now.

OP: The doctor says he has an ear infection, plus the right lymph node on his neck is swollen. That causes discomfort so he won't move his head. Thans everyone for hour help.
