Headache in Children

Sporadic headaches are common and do not require further investigations or treatment. Headache may already occur in infants and young children.Children may have migraine or tension-type headache, often both. Strong headaches warrant an assessment by a physician; in most cases this can well be done at primary care level.Daily headaches that continue month after month often mask severe problems that warrant an evaluation of the psychosocial situation of the child.
