Hi,my son is 7 years old. He has been getting alot of headaches recently and today when he came home from school he complained of a headache and started to cry,he is sleeping at the minute, i have also noticed that his forehead at the top righthand side looks swollen,it feels very hard? He has had a couple of nose bleeds also in the last few weeks.
Hi, headache in a 7-year-old child could be due to hypertension, refractive error in eyes, trauma to head or intracranial pathology. Most common cause of headache is refractive error, so you should get your child eyes check for refractive error. Other causes could be hypertension so get the blood pressure checked. MRI brain should be done to rule out intracranial pathology. Revert with above reports. Take care.
