What Causes Pain In Head In Toddler While Running Or Crawling/
Hello. My 20 month old son s head hurts when he runs, crawls or leans forward. This last week he had a cold and was very congested. The cold passed, but then a day later he had a fever which also has now passed, but today he is having these head pains. Went to the doctor today and no signs of ear infection or anything else. Doctor thought it might be a headache from sinus congestion and prescribed decongestant for 3 days to see if it helps. What could this be? Any advice?

Hi...I feel that your doctor is 100% right and sinus infections and chronic cold symptoms can very cause this types of headaches. Knowingly or unknowingly you have mentioned a very important clue in your query - telling that - the headache is more when he leans forward which is very much suggestive of sinus headache. But if his headache i associated with consistent vomiting, I feel you need to get his Blood pressure checked and get him seen by your pediatrician.
