my daughter complaining of headaches?

Question

shes 12 for the last two weeks its like a migrange headache,its usually in the night,she wont take a painkiller tablet as she says it gets stuck and the medicine i give her is for babies then up to 12yrs

Answer 1

Could it be a vitamin deficiency?? Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms include headaches and migraines, fatigue and exhaustion, dizziness, depression, inability to concentrate, moodiness, irritability, head and hand sweating, chest pains and heart palpitations, nausea and vomiting, numbness and prickling and tingling in the outer extremities, constipation and insomnia.

When we are under added stress the body natural uses up more the B complex group of vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B5 B6 and B12. The B group of vitamins are a water soluble group. The human body can neither store or produce these vitamins and therefore we need to replenish them on a daily basis.

B12 is supplied primarily by animal products, since plant products usually don't contain it. The only exceptions I can think of would be sea vegetables such as kelp, nori or spirulina.

Perhaps she needs to increase her intake of foods rich in vitamin B12. ie: yeast, liver, beef, eggs, milk, chese and fish, kidney and pork.

Also get yourself some good quality multi B complex tablets. These are usually labelled Mega B complex tablets or Executive Stress B tablets.

I've got 3 school age children and honestly each and every time one of them complains of tummy ache, headache, too tired to do anything, grumpy and moody etc.etc.etc. they've been ditching their school lunch in favor of whatever junk food they've bought!! I know its really easy jus to grab whatever is going but usually our body will let us know pretty quickly when the all important B vitamins are missing in our diets.

Hey, chin up, the best part is that as soon as you correct the nutritional deficiency your symptoms will rapidly disappear - within the hour or even less!!

crunch the tablet up with the underneath of a spoon on a plate, add a little jam to the tablet, mix up well then she can take it.
