What causes headache in a child at night?
Patient: Dear Doctors My 4.5 years old kid is complaining and crying saying he is having headache at night. It is not on regular intervals, but happens frequently sometimes. He had hit the head on the floor once while falling from 6 foot height and another minor head accidents. Is there anything to be worried or it could be a a minor issue? Doctor: Hello. I just read through your question.In the vast majority of cases, these things are minor and not of any concern. However, anytime a child complains of headache for a prolonged period of time, it's a good idea to be evaluated by a pediatric neurologist for reassurance.
