my son aged 6 keep getting severe headache which cause him to get very upset. he then is very sick and will then sleep and be ok when he wakes. the headache always appears sighted over the eye. This also seem to happen when he is outside for a long period of time. can you offer any advise
Hi, I would like to clarify few more points:Is the headache associated with nausea / vomiting / photophobia (difficulty looking bright light) / photophobia (difficulty hearing noises) / any visual disturbances?Also, how long he has this and any other members in the family having this? These points, if present, suggest migraine as the cause of headache, which can be treated with analgesics and lifestyle modification, with occasional need of taking regular Chat Doctor.  If these points are not there, it can be a tension headache. Kindly see your doctor for detailed evaluation. Meanwhile, few tips for control:1) Give paracetamol for pain relief (I used to add ibuprofen if no response)2) Take a nap in a dark and quite room when having headache3) Keep regular meal times-avoid missing meaks4) Regular sleep is must-sleep deprivation can precipitate5) Avoid much tea / coffee / caffeinated
