Patient's question:
What is the reason for the child's sudden headache? First question supplement: This morning when getting up, they said they had a headache, and in the evening, they said it again, but just for a moment.Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are several possible causes for headaches: refractive errors, tension headaches, hypertensive headaches, pain caused by cervical spondylosis, and headaches that occur after a fever. Based on your description of the situation, it is likely that hypertensive headaches, cervical spondylosis, and fever-induced pain can be ruled out. The possibilities are now narrowed down to refractive errors and tension headaches.You can first give the child a pain reliever, such as "painkillers," and observe if the headache improves. If the pain subsides, it may be due to tension headaches. If the pain persists frequently, it should be considered whether the pain is caused by refractive errors. In that case, it would be advisable to have an eye exam to check the vision and help confirm the diagnosis.
