I'm assuming that you are referring to the comma that would usually occur after the quotation if the sentence was continued, such as, "'Did you have lunch today?' his mother inquired." In that case, the answer is no: the question mark will suffice. If you were referring to a comma that would come before the question, though, as in, "His mother inquired, 'Did you have lunch today?'", the answer is yes, because standard grammatical rules for any sentence apply.

As a side note, thank-you for saying 'quotation' instead of 'quote'!

When citing a page number within an essay do the period come before or after the page number?

When writing (in British English), quotations are shown within pairs of quotation marks, i.e. "double" or 'single' inverted commas . This is the correct form for 'direct speech' being quoted, whether the speech/extract being quoted is referring to something previously spoken or written.If the quotation itself ends with a period, and the quotation is the last clause in the sentence, then the final period can be included, as someone once said, "...inside the quotation marks."In this way the sentence is ended, with no need of a further period.When page numbers are cited, unless these are part of a quotation, then quotation marks are not included.
