How To Manage Repeated Headaches In Children

Treatment

Treatment for a child’s headache depends on the type of headache they have, and preventing a child from getting a headache in the first place is ideal. Start by keeping a headache diary to track potential triggers, including certain foods and stressors at school. Make sure the child is well rested by talking to a pediatrician about how many hours of sleep they need a day. Also be sure the child stays hydrated by drinking lots of water in place of soda and other sugary beverages.

Once the type of headache is identified, treatment can truly begin. Discover how to treat a tension headache in children next.
