Patient's question:
Headache, about the temples are also aching, very painful. Thought sleeping would help, but it still hurts in the morning. It's okay when not moving, but burying the head or moving it will cause much more pain. It has been persistent from yesterday afternoon to this morning. The school doctor told me to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Please help my child.Doctor's answer:
The causes of headaches are numerous and can be broadly categorized into two types: primary and secondary. The former cannot be attributed to a specific cause and is also known as idiopathic headache, with common examples being migraines and tension headaches. The latter can be associated with various intracranial inflammatory conditions such as cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial infections, and cranial trauma, as well as systemic diseases like fever, internal environment disorders, and the use of psychoactive drugs.First and foremost, it is important to identify the cause of the headache. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a brain CT scan and a brain color Doppler flow examination. After a definitive diagnosis is made, treatment should be carried out based on the advice of the attending physician.
