Hello, My daughter who is 3 complains that her head hurts all the time! I have been to the doctors a few times about this but they just say it s nothing to worry about!! It hurts her almost everyday and i m getting more and more worried. She sometimes is in pain with it too (she holds her head). Could it be her eyes? I have bad eyes.
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Headache in kids need to be considered serious only when the below symptoms are there - 1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures/ Fits3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. Without the above red flag symptoms, just feeling low energy levels points out towards Migraine and other sorts of tension headaches which are on the rise in current scenario due to excessive academic and peer stress the kids are experiencing. I have a few questions for you -1. How long has the headache been there?2. Does it always occur on forehead or keeps changing?3. Is it associated with blurring of eyes or double vision or giddiness?4. Is there any family history of migraine or single side headache?5. Is she very angry when he gets headache and does the ache get better after a good sleep?6. Does she vomit when there is headache? Kindly get back to me with the answers to above questions and also mention his weight so that I can suggest you the formulations which are good. But as of now - you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly. You can approach me at the following link.
