5 year old son with frequent headaches and vomiting.
by Suzane-J, Jan 26, 1999 12:00AM
My five-year-old son has been having severe frontal headaches on and off for at least two years now. He always cries with them and within an hour or two after they start, he will vomit. After he vomits he feels better. I have brought this to the attention of his pediatrician, however she diagnosed it as miagraines with no testing at all. Is there any tests that I should have my son indure? I don't want to make a big deal about it to my son, however I don't want him to suffer either. Is there any OTC medications that I can give to ease his pain during this time? Also are frontal headaches common in children his age. The only people in our family that has miagraines are my sister and that's it.
