Possibly.: Depending on what burned, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases may have been produced. If this continues, see your doctor; if severe, go to emergency room.

The fumes may have resulted in these symptoms, particularly since they developed symptoms after exposure and simultaneously. Watch for signs of difficulty breathing and please see urgent care or your pediatrician. Infection is another possible cause. Monitor temperature and keep the area well ventilated.
