Question: My grandaugter, age 9, complains about her head getting warm, then she feels something pop and it hurts. She says this happens about 3 times a year. An EEG was done which came back normal. What should we do to find out what's wrong. What she feels is not normal in my opinion.
Brief Answer:

Hi...by what quote I feel that this could be migraine and head getting warm and hurting a lot...fits into migraine.

No one else in the family has migraine. She does not become irritable. Her blood pressure has not been checked by a doctor. She does not sleep during the episode and does not have weakness of the limbs. She just went for a physical a week ago and was told that what she is feeling could be related to her inner ear, but the doctor did not check for this.
Brief Answer:
Could be a migraine still
Detailed Answer:
Hi...I feel this could be a migraine because the history is fitting in classically.
I have these suggestions for you -
1. Get her ears checked by a paediatrician by otoscopy.
2. For her headache you can give Paracetamol. Kindly get back to me with the answers to above questions and also mention his weight so that I can suggest you the formulations which are good. But as of now - you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly.
3. Definitely she needs her blood pressure to be checked.
