Headaches in Children | |
It is vital for parents to understand that severe headache pain in children is every part as serious as it is in adults. Children who suffer from severe headaches and are constantly accused of malingering risk suffering psychological damage. Parents who do not suffer from, or understand the implications of severe headache pain, are advised that simple over the counter medications can be useless against the pain of severe headaches. Parents are also encouraged to read the section on Headaches and Depression. Fortunately though, research at The Headache Clinic has shown that severe headaches in children are easier to treat and cure than in adults. This is because the repetitive stress injuries to the structures of the head that are caused by years and years of suffering have not yet manifested. Children suffering from severe headaches should be brought to The Headache Clinic immediately to restore their Quality of life during these very important formative years. To become more familiar with the extent to which headaches are affecting your childs life, assist your child in filling out the Quality of Life Questionaire. |
