The general opinion that migraine headaches that are usually associated with nausea and vomiting begin at childhood, and the attack increase as they pass through puberty. The frequency of headaches in children increases once they reach puberty. Although, initially the rate at which boys and girls get affected by this disorder is the same, but during adolescence, girls are more affected by it compared to boys. Various types of headaches can afflict children. These can range from migraine, tension headache, cough headache, headache fever to sore throat headache. Migraine in kids affects both sides of the head, unlike adult migraine. Tension headache in children may result due to emotional stress at school, home or friends. Anxiety or depression may result leading to headaches. The headache in this case is not accompanied by nausea or vomiting, but the child does become irritable and pale. Sometimes, some bacterial or viral attack may be the cause of headache in children. Various treatments can be prescribed to treat headaches in children. These include keeping a headache diary, natural headache relief care and practicing relaxation techniques as headache remedies. Aspirin should be avoided as it can lead to brain and liver damage and Reye's syndrome in youngsters. Related Articles |
