Answer 1

I think your parents should take you to the doctor. Headaches that last that long might be due to some underlying health issue.

Answer 2

Start drinking a cup of warm water with about a quarter to a half a teaspoon of herbal cayenne powder in it at least three times a day. This will thin your blood over time to the consistancy of ink. Your brain will be getting all the oxygen it needs. When your face stops turning red, your eyes stop watering and you stop sweating, double the dosage until you are doing a teaspoon three times a day. When you get to the point that nothing adverse happens you only have to do this once a day. You will have more energy and be healthier than all the skeptics who believe that doctors' advice is the only way to get better. Herbal remedies have been in use for thousands of years while drugs for less than two hundred, yet everyone seems to think that drugs will do better than nature's way.

Answer 3

First of all, you need to tell your parents or guardians about these headaches. Did you take over the counter medicines or prescribed? Get your parents or read yourself on this to describe what kind of headache you're having. It sounds more like a migraine that keeps coming back, I still have this problem and I'm 16.

Migraine

Migraine pain is usually throbbing and is almost always accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In children, the headache is often on both sides of the head, instead of just on one side as in adults. The child may appear pale or glassy-eyed and may be irritable before or during the attack. Periodic vomiting without headache is viewed as a migraine variant and may indicate migraine in later years. Children exhibiting car or motion sickness, especially if there is a history of migraine in the family, will often develop migraine later.



Fortunately, the symptoms will disappear in some children with migraine in a period of five to seven years after their appearance. Migraine will occur in about one-quarter of migraine sufferers before the age of five and in about half before the age of 20.



It is important to realize that migraine may occur after head injury, especially after injury sustained in sporting activities such as football, baseball or soccer. The outcome is generally full recovery over varying time periods.



Tension-Type Headache

This is the most common type of primary headache in children, and emotional factors are the most likely cause. The pain is described as diffuse, sometimes like a tight band around the head, and is usually not associated with nausea or vomiting.



These headaches are almost always related to stressful situations at school, competition, family friction or excessive demands by parents. Discussion with the child and parents is required to determine whether anxiety or depression may be present.



Organic
Infectious illness (viral or bacterial) is the most common cause of headache in children and is self-limited to the course of illness. If a new or sudden onset headache is accompanied by fever, lethargy and stiff neck, meningitis or encephalitis should be suspected. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, muscular incoordination, weakness, seizures, and personality changes.




For new or different headaches, a first priority is to rule out increased pressure in the brain and surrounding tissues, which may be due to tumors, infection or blood clots. It is important to remember that restlessness and irritability may be the only signs of head pain in young children unable to express themselves adequately.



Treatment
Treatment is individualized depending on the age and weight of the child and the frequency and severity of attacks. Interestingly, many have fewer and less distressing attacks after they are reassured that no serious abnormality exists. Lifestyle changes such as regular sleep and eating habits are mandatory. Make sure the child drinks plenty of fluids, especially when playing in hot weather. Caffeine and sugar intake should be limited. Families should monitor the time spent by the child doing schoolwork, playing and watching TV. In children younger than age 12 years with infrequent attacks, analgesics and antiemetics are useful at the time of the attack. Narcotic analgesics should be avoided. Migraine-specific medications (triptans) have not yet been approved by the FDA for use in children under the age of 18. However, these medications have been studied in children and are safe and effective in certain cases. Healthcare providers and parents must work with the childýs school to ensure that treatment is available and provided at the onset of the headache. If attacks occur more than once a month or are particularly distressing, preventive therapy should be considered. Children should not miss school due to headache. Psychological counseling can be useful to deal with family and school issues. Children are very receptive to biofeedback therapy.
