I want to find a physician to find the correct diagnosis and treatment for her. kids should not have to suffer like this im wondering should i suggest to her neuro botox injections? chiropractic intervention? i am at wits end here and need guidance. thank you , sheila Doctor: Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.                     It appears to be the tension head ache, or head ache due to refractive error of the eyes. As there are seizures, it may be secondary to the epilepsy, or there may be some underlying cause like T.B, etc.                       I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. She may need to have C.T. scan with contrast.                      I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms alprazolam,ranitidine, valporic acid, and paracetamol when ever required,till the diagnosis is established.                      Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
