What causes headache and vomiting in a 9 year old?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 9 year old child had a bad headache last night and after an hour or so vomited. He eventually went to sleep. He had a school camp to go to starting tomorrow. If it is a vomiting bug I shouldn t send him but if it was caused by a headache/migraine I would. How do I know the difference? Thanks. Doctor: Dear parent,migraine must be episodic,is ur child suffering from such episodes frequently.i mean headache followed by vomiting and after vomiting headache is relieved.if such episodes are frequent then it might be migraine.u can send him to camp giving him some paracetamol tablets for pain and antiemetic for vomiting.
