What causes a child's head to hurt?

Children are the treasures of every family, and every parent hopes that their children can grow up healthily. However, some children have poor physical constitutions and are prone to illness since childhood. These are all related to the child's physical constitution, acquired factors, and genetic reasons. So what are the reasons for digestive headaches sometimes? Let's analyze it.

It's easy for parents to worry if their child has a headache. But in fact, most headaches do not mean that the child has a serious illness. However, if your child has the following symptoms, you should consult a doctor immediately to find out the cause:

Observe whether the child still has persistent headaches and needs to be taken to the hospital for examination. There are many causes of headaches, including colds, rhinitis, otitis media, hypertension, central nervous system infections and other diseases.

Headache refers to pain in the area above the eye sockets and occipital area. This is one of the common symptoms of neurological diseases in children, often caused by extracranial diseases.

Scientific principles/background knowledge: Headaches can be acute or chronic.

When acute headache is accompanied by fever and vomiting, the first thing to consider is to exclude infection of the central nervous system;

When chronic headaches are accompanied by vomiting but no fever, the most important thing to consider is whether there is a tumor in the brain.

Among all types of headaches, tension headaches and vascular headaches are more common, and headaches caused by intracranial space-occupying lesions are only a minority. However, if not diagnosed in time, they often cause serious consequences.

Therefore, if parents find their children have a headache, they should take them to the hospital for treatment in time.

In addition, headaches are also related to the living habits of modern children. Watching TV, playing video games, using the computer, or doing homework or reading for a long time can cause eye muscle fatigue and high mental tension. Incorrect sitting posture when doing homework can also cause neck muscle tension, which can cause headaches in children.

When a child has a health problem, parents will be particularly anxious, because the child is the hope of the whole family. If a problem occurs, they will be particularly anxious and nervous. I hope all parents must learn some knowledge about diseases, so that if the child feels unwell, they will roughly know what the situation is and will not be panicked.
