My five year old sons has been getting headaches for about the past three weeks..He gets about 2-3 a week and they are usually in his forehead or brow line with some darting pain behind his ear..For the past few years he has complained that his nose feels weird so i took him to an ENT twice. The Dr. put a tube up his nose each time and saw nothing but I feel perhaps this could possibly be related to his headaches. I ,of course imagine the worst, should I be worried? should he have an MRI?
Hi, headache in a child can be due to migraine, weak eyesight, space occupying lesion in brain. The child should be examined by a ENT specialist doctor to rule out migraine. An ophthalmologist examination should be done to check for eyesight of child. If all things comes normal then CT scan or MRI brain needs to be done. The child should be given adequate rest. You can give paracetamol syrup to relieve headache. Try to relax the child. Review with reports. Wishing your child good health take care.
