Treatment for frequent headaches in children

As parents, we often hear our children complain about headaches. There are many reasons for headaches, and many parents cannot prescribe the right medicine, which leads to children's headaches not receiving timely and effective treatment. Finding the root cause of the disease and treating it is the key. Here we will introduce some treatment methods for children's frequent headaches.

Treatment:

1. Cold and hot compresses Some people like to apply cold compresses to the forehead and neck, which works for many people; while others prefer hot compresses to the neck or take a hot bath. When a headache strikes you can cover your forehead with a hot or cold pack and massage the blood vessels in your temples to relieve the pain.

2. Do facial beauty exercises. The following 7 kinds of flexibility exercises are specially designed for the face and scalp. They can help you relax the muscles in these areas and enable you to take control actions when you see the first signs of headache. Raise eyebrows: Raise both eyebrows at the same time, and then lower them. Squint: Close your eyes quickly and then relax. Next, squint your right eye hard and relax. Next, close your left eye and relax. Frown: squeeze your eyebrows hard and relax. Open your mouth: Slowly open your mouth as wide as possible, then slowly close it. Move your jaw: Open your mouth slightly and move your jaw left and right. Wrinkle your nose: Squeeze your nose upward with force, as if you smell something bad. Make faces: Make faces casually, like when you were a child. Don't worry, your face won't be deformed.

3. Take a deep breath. Taking a deep breath is a good way to relieve tension. When your stomach rises and falls more noticeably than your chest, you're doing it right.

4. Press acupoints. Studies have found that acupoint and spinal massage have fewer side effects than conventional drug treatments and the therapeutic effects last longer. There are several main acupoints for pain relief. One is the Hegu point at the base of the thumb and index finger, and the Jupei point at the base of the cheekbones on both sides of the nose (press until sore). They help relieve sinus headaches. Another is the Baihe point on the top of the head, which is very effective for vascular pulsation headaches. For migraines, pressing the Xuanlu point (also known as the temple area) is the most effective.

5. Wear a headband. Tying a bandage on your head can reduce blood flow to the scalp, thereby relieving migraines. 6. Take aspirin in moderation. For headaches that occur once or twice a month, aspirin or other common anti-inflammatory drugs can come in handy. But overuse of these drugs can cause more pain. At the same time, if you decide to use aspirin to treat headaches, you should take it immediately when the headache starts, otherwise it will not be effective.
