My son has a terrible headache again. two days ago he came home stress about homework and got a bad headache, thew up and went to bed five hours later he was much better. then today, he came from school and had a massive headache, felt nasious and when to sleep. is this most likely a tension headache and if so what are the treatments short term?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Since, headache is occurring when child comes to home from school, he could be suffering from tension headache, weak eyesight or refractive error, or the child has got common cold. In my opinion, you should give ibuprofen syrup 15 mg/kg for headache and get the eyes examined by an ophthalmologist for refractive error. Revert with above reports. I hope this will help you. Take care.
