Schoolboy, 9, complained of headache before he was rushed to hospital

A mum has shared an urgent message to all parents after her son was rushed to hospital with a headache.

Henri Brammer began had been complaining of a headache for two days in December but mum Carly initially put this down to Christmas excitement. However, after complaining of eye pain and seeming lethargic, he was taken to his local hospital on December 19 in Stoke.

Doctors told the family that the nine-year-old was suffering from a viral infection and were about to discharge him when mum Carly demanded scans be done. The next day, a CT scan showed young Henri had a 10cm ball of pus on his brain and he was rushed by ambulance to Alder Hey.
