Signs and symptoms of children’s headaches
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CHILDREN’S HEADACHES

Pain, ache, or throbbing in any area of the head are obvious signs of a headache. The type of headache experienced depends somewhat on the cause of the headache. Some clues to the cause are the location of the pain, how long pain lasts, the time of day at which it occurs, the circumstances leading to the pain, other accompanying symptoms, and the effect medications have on the pain. In general, a headache is not serious if it can be relieved by aspirin or paracetamol, rest, or comforting attention to the child.

Migraine. A child that has migraine headaches usually has a strong family history of the condition. A migraine headache is often on one side of the head. It is generally accompanied by nausea and vomiting ("sick headache"). Sometimes it is preceded by an aura (seeing light flashes or having double vision). A migraine lasts for hours and usually cannot be relieved by aspirin or paracetamol.

High blood pressure. A throbbing pain occurs with a headache caused by high blood pressure. The child may sweat and turn pale or become flushed. Heart and pulse pound. Aspirin or paracetamol do not relieve this type of headache.

Concussions. A headache caused by concussion follows an injury to the head.

Tumours, infections, bleeding within the head. Headaches associated with these conditions gradually become more severe and more frequent. The child starts to vomit and to show other signs of disorders of the nervous system such as stiff neck, vision problems, confusion, loss of balance, and sometimes fever.

Sinusitis. When headache is caused by sinusitis, the nose is congested or runny.

Eye strain. A headache from eye strain follows reading or watching television.

Psychiatric problems. Behavior problems also occur along with a headache that is caused by psychiatric problems. The headache is frequently at the top of the head, or it may affect the entire head, which is unusual with other forms of headache.
