Could drinking milk cause headaches?
Patient: After drinking a bottle of warm milk, my daughter often says she has a headache and gets quite upset until i give her some medicine. I have asked her to point to where it hurts (she is 2 1/2) and she points to above both eyebrows and the centre of her forehead - is there any reason the milk could be giving her a headache? Doctor: Hello,Milk does not cause headache. Some children are allergic to cow's milk and in that case they have symptoms like itching, bloating, running nose, etc.But it does not appear to be a case here. Probably she doesn't like the taste of milk that's why she might be complaining of headache so as get rid of milk.You add some natural flavors to milk or make milkshakes, etc., so that she likes the taste of milk.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
