You should take: him to his doctor today (or tomorrow if your doctor is not in now.) If he has any vomiting, loss of consciousness, history of trauma, seizure, stiff neck, high fever he should be seen in the ER tonight. There are many possible causes of headaches, but it's always somewhat concerning when a young child has one. It may not be serious, but needs to be checked.

Broad differential: Headache in a 6yo can be caused by many things. Important factors are location of pain, duration of symptoms, if pain moves to other areas, and any underlying medical problems. Because of the wide range of possibilities, he should be evaluated by his pediatrician to have a complete history and evaluation.
