Patient's question:
Hello, your 16-year-old child often has pain in the upper part of the back of the head, and it hurts even when waking up from sleep. They tend to lean their head down very much while doing homework. Recently, the pain has become so severe that they dare not raise their head. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a 16-year-old child is experiencing pain in the back of the head, which is usually caused by factors such as heavy academic pressure and mental stress. However, it should not be ruled out as meningitis or other organic diseases in this case. In such a situation, I recommend that you first go to the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination and blood pressure test to check for any other issues. If the tests are normal, it may be due to poor rest. You should pay attention to getting more rest, engaging in more outdoor activities, and reducing academic pressure. Neuroregulatory medications can also be considered.
