                    What are the Kinds of HEADACHE in Children 

Headache or migraine are a very common symptom, even in children.

Migraine is most common neurological disease among children and in Italy affects about 10 children out of 100.

About 25% of children report had at least one episode of headache during year.

There are different types of headache: difference to made is between primary and secondary headaches.

The first are related to genetic predisposition, while in the second headache is symptom of a disease to

identify and treat.

Primary headaches of pediatric age are:

  • migraine, with and without aura; 
  • tension headache;
  • cluster headache (very rare in childhood).

Migraine is the most frequent primary headache in children, at least until the teenage years.

Young child experiences symptoms defined as migraine equivalents which include:

                   - cyclic vomiting; - recurrent abdominal pain; benign paroxysmal dizziness;

                   - paroxysmal stiff neck; recurring pain in lower limbs (commonly known as

                          "growing pains");

                   - car sickness.

 

Headaches in children and teenagers can treated with natural, effective and harmless cures.

Older child, on the other hand, has a dominant headache, generally of medium-strong intensity, sometimes

even of short duration (even 5-10 minutes). In some cases the pain affects half of head and is throbbing:

children often say they feel heart in head. There may also be accompanying ymptoms, like:

                  - discomfort with light (photophobia);

                  - annoyance with noise (phonophobia);

                  - discomfort due to odors (osmophobia);

                  - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and paleness.

 

In migraine with aura, headache is preceded or accompanied by neurological symptoms:

  • - vision disturbance (vision of lights, blurred vision, transient loss of visual field part);
  • - tingling and decreased sensitivity of one limb or half of body;
  • - difficulty moving a limb or half of body;
  • - speech disorder.

 

Tension headache mostly affects in adolescent period: pain is generally of medium-mild intensity, bilateral

and constricting, like a vise.

 

Cluster headache is a third type of primary headache, rare in pediatric age: manifests itself with extremely

intense pain, lasting about 30 minutes, affecting an orbital region. It's often associated with nausea, vomiting,

phonophobia and photophobia, intense lacrimation, conjunctival redness, nasal obstruction.

In these children pain repeated regularly every day, at the same time (especially at night), for a period changing

between 15 and 30 days. But migraines and headaches in children and teens can be healed with natural

remedies.

       -infections of upper respiratory tract (flu syndromes, pharyngitis, rhinitis, etc.);

       -meningo-encephalitic inflammatory pathologies;

       -brain tumors (rare in children).

    sinusitis). 

In case of primary headaches, drugs are generally not recommended for children and prescribed only in the most severe

cases.
