What Cause 6 Year Old Complains About Severe Headache?
My 6 year old has been complaining of severe headaches every morning when she wakes up. This started about a week ago and has gotten worse. Medication does not seem to help either. When asked where the headache is, she points to the back of her head.

Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. Early morning headache is usually suggestive of intracranial mass. I suggest you consult your pediatrician. If she's having vomiting/ blurred vision/ unconsciousness/ seizures... Rush to emergency room. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
