are kids suppose to get headaches?

Question

i have a 6 yr old daughter and she gets headaches every so often.it always is in her forehead.should i be worried?she doesnt complain of anything else and tylenol takes the pain away

Answer 1

Anyone can get headaches. Forehead pain suggests two thoughts to me. I often have headaches in the forehead area.

I have two problems that routinely cause these headaches. (allergies and poor eyesight)

Eye strain causes very painful headaches. A cool cloth over the eyes while resting really helps.

I also have allergies. The pressure in the sinus areas of my head cause extreme pain and dizziness. Seasonal allergy medicines help. But, the best relief is from my prescription nasonex or similar product.

Have you asked the doctor about your daughter's headaches? Your doctor may answer your problem with a qick phone call.

Answer 2

Children should not get headaches. They do get them, but there is usually a physical cause that leads to them such as sinus congestion or even vision problems. These should be checked by a doctor, especially if there is a recurring problem..

I am against giving medicine, including tylenol, unless it is unavoidable.

The following is an exercise you can try with your daughter. If it works for you she may think you are magic. She will certainly be pleased.

Stand behind your daughter while she is either standing or seated.

Extend your arms and move your hands to a position just below the eyebrows. Hold your hands about half an inch from her head.

While doing this, picture a flow of energy flowing through you, from the head down, and exiting into the ground beneath you.

Hold your hands in the position mentioned for not more than twenty seconds, then slowly move them up and draw them back over toward each side of her head, then over the ears and slowly down until you reach her shoulders.

When you reach the shoulders pause there for five seconds, then place your fingers on both of her shoulders for just a few seconds. Sweep your hands briskly downwards and away from her .

The entire process should take about forty-five seconds and it should not be done for more than one minute.

This is the basic action used in several alternative healing therapies. It may be true that not everyone can do it, but if it works for you and your daughter, the headache will disappear.


Doing this successfully does not necessarily require specific training: I began doing it at home, without training of any kind, when I was your daughter's age.

Real migraines might not go away completely, but they will be reduced significantly. A second treatment after a few minutes can reduce them even more.

The average adult "tension" headache goes away in one minute.

Answer 3

I would definitly talk to a dr, about that. One headach I wouldnt worry about but your talking headaches, Yeah, I would talk to a doctor because something is causing that little girl to have headaches. 6 year olds usally dont walk around with a pain in their heads.

Answer 4

you should keep a record of when and everytime she get's a headache, i did this for my daughter and took her to see her pediatrician turns out she has migraines and she started with her headaches at about 7 yrs of age she is now 10 you should take her to her doctor just in case.
could also be problems with vision or sometimes they get headaches when their hungry.

Answer 5

I always get headaches (13). She could also have eye problems. Ay 12 I had my first migraine (actually the only one). I know it was a migraine because I threw up twice it hurt so bad!

Answer 6

Get truly along with your child and speak approximately STD's and all of the matters that may occur from ingesting. I speak to my children overtly approximately matters that they ought to manage on a day-to-day groundwork. If they question me a query they deserve an reply and I might instead they pay attention it from me than any frame else. If the strains of conversation are open I feel they might be prone to come to me if and whilst they're in situation and wish support. Good Luck from one mother to an extra.

Answer 7

She just might be one of those kids that gets headaches.... it's normal.
