What should I do if my child has a headache?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: 5
What should I do if the child says they have a headache?
History of previous diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Blood lead test and vision are normal
Current general condition: Sometimes says they have a headache

Doctor's answer:

Often experience headaches and dizziness. In addition to psychological factors, many reasons are caused by sinusitis in children. Also, there is a small possibility of abnormal intracranial vascular development;
Recommendation: A head CT or MRI + MRA scan.
If it is sinusitis, follow the treatment for sinusitis. Once the inflammation is resolved, the headaches and dizziness will naturally subside. Dizziness may also be caused by a cold, cervical spondylosis, anemia, high blood pressure, etc. Poor rest duration and quality can also lead to these symptoms.
It is necessary to identify the cause. I recommend you go to the hospital for a cranial examination as soon as possible and rule out cervical spondylosis. Then, receive targeted treatment.
