Son 6 says he had a bad taste in his mouth that that went to his head became a headache, then he became nauseated, and vomited several times. The headache went away he slept for several hours an seems to be normal now... no fever. Wondering what happened... migraine?
Hi, yes, the episode could be an attack of migraine. Migraine is associated with unilateral pain(hemicrania), nausea and vomiting, photophobia and photophobia and can be relieved with sleep. But to diagnose it as Migraine, there should be at least 5 such episodes in a month each lasting for at least 1 hour. So such an episode can be due to stress related, lack of sleep, or poor due sight or raised intracranial tension. As of now, get a vision testing for your child if the episode bothers him again and get a BP check. Consult a pediatrician as it could require neurological examination and neck examination to rule out intracranial tension. Thanks and regards.
