young child with continuouse headaches

Hi Doc

Thanks for the reply, I will definitely take my son to a Doc for regular check-ups, thanks.

One more question, he suffers from headaches everyday, he normally will just start crying and hold his head on top and tell me his head is paining again. It really worries me because I can see he is not faking it, because one minute he will be talking or playing and the next crying hold his head. Last night late he woke crying his head hurts. Is there any tests we can do to see why this is happening and what we can do to help him.

Thank you so much.

Zeela, I think you need to see a paediatric neurologist. They can do an EEG, lumbar puncture, brain scan and a whole lot of other tests. I have to say that it does sound like there is something serious wrong, so I think you shouldn’t take no for an answer without exhausting every option. Good luck.
