Migraines in Children
March 31st, 2008 . by chubs
Like adults, children also experience headaches due to stress and trauma. As a matter of fact, migraine headaches typically start during childhood or adolescence. Studies tell us that the frequency of headaches increases in children as they enter adolescence and go through the stresses of puberty. Kids who are suffering from migraine may show symptoms such as frequent nausea and vomiting. Sometimes, some children experience abdominal migraine (periodic vomiting with no headache). Research claims that, normally, these children will develop headaches as they grow older. There are several ways to treat migraines in children, however, take note that these neurological syndromes can be signs of depression, most especially if symptoms include mood swings or change in sleeping habits. That is why aside from the regular medication and treatment for migraines, parents should also consider counseling and therapy for their kids.
