8yr Son W/ Unusual Headaches - Help? Posted: 12-20-04 14:33pm
My
son is 8yr old and has headaches daily.
His ct came back negative, thankfully.
His headaches are always on the top left
side of his head. They last aprx. Only
10min. And he usually has 2-3 a day. No
vision disturbances, stomach upset - no
usual migraine symptoms that I can see.
I just don't know what to think about
this. His Dr. Said he will have to go
to a neurologist next. Has anyone had a
child w/ similar headaches? If so, what
was the diagnosis? I don't want to
unnecessarily give him meds.

Well I doubt you have to worry about
unneccisary medication, every pediatrition
I saw was very hesitant to prescribe
anything. Some times this type of
headache can be helped by certain
relaxation exercises, even if you just
take deep breaths with your child during
the comercial breaks of a television show.
Good luck, I hope he feels better soon.
