Suggest Remedy For Pain In Head
My niece who is 7 has been complaining a lot that her head hurts, she shows that it hurts right in front. Some days it hurts more and some days not so much, sometimes she closes her ears saying that it is too much noise and her head is pounding from it. Her doctor says that it is really nothing serious. Can you please tell me what it can be and what can be done to prevent those headaches? She is overall a healthy 7 year old girl. She does love salty foods, can that contribute to the headaches? Can she be dehydrated? Would appreciate your answer. Thank you! Galina Kolodyi ( YYYY@YYYY )

Hi
If the pain is so severe she needs complete work up including checking blood pressure,eye examination and CT head .
If everything I us ruled out it may be migraine.
Pl take her to a pediatrician or pediatric neurologist.
God bless
