Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hypoglycemia and blood pressure fluctuations can lead headache as well.

So investigate with serum random blood sugar and blood pressure should be measured.

If common cold present than also it can lead headache.

If any dental problem present than also headache can occur.

Lack of sleep, excess stress, anxiety, fasting also can lead headache.

Paracetamol can be prescribed for that.

Take care.

Hope this will help you. If headache continue than Consult pediatrician for examination.
