Dis Children Also Have Migraine or Headache?

My oldest son is 10. he has been complaining of having a lot of headaches. We went to the doctor and he had told us to keep a headache log and return in a month. We did that, so he told us to get an MRI to make sure there wasn't anything wrong. that its just possible he is getting migraines. well the MRI showed a cyst in his nasal cavity. we were referred to an ENT. we had a CT done. the cyst is pretty big and its starting to close up some airways in his nose making it hard for him to breathe through his nose. The doctor said it is very possible that that is what is causing his headaches. we won't know until he recovers from his surgery. his surgery is scheduled to be the 26th of this month. Kids do get headaches. I would just keep an eye on it, and if it becomes more of an issue, look into it. good luck.

I grew up being told by my mother that children can not get headaches. I would complain about my head hurting and she said I was full of it. But now as an adult I know that,that pain was indeed a headache. But headaches are usually cause by something. Could be a cold coming on, lack of sleep, or possible allegries to something or even something more serious. I think that it is quite possible your son may have a headache, right now it could be adjusting to getting up in the morning and not having a good night sleep or with the seasons changing putting pressure and many children are getting sick this time of year. But if it doesn't go away shortly or gets worse I would get it checked out.
