What is the cause of a three-year-old child's headache?

Some children often feel headaches. We must pay attention to children's headaches, because children's headaches are likely to be caused by the development of the nervous system, which will have a serious impact on the future intellectual development of children. Therefore, parents must pay attention to it. If the baby has frequent headaches, they must take the child to check and treat in time. So what is the matter with the three-year-old child's headache?

Causes of headaches in three-year-old children

1. Headache caused by fever

The most common cause of headaches in children is high fever. When the human body temperature rises, the body's metabolic products increase, blood flow speeds up, and the blood vessels in the brain become congested, causing headaches. This headache usually subsides or disappears after the fever subsides, so parents don't need to be overly nervous. If the child's headache is caused by a cold and fever, parents can put an ice pack on the child's forehead, take some antipyretic and analgesic drugs as prescribed by the doctor, try to lower the temperature, keep the indoor air circulating, and let the child sleep quietly and everything will be fine.

2. Headaches caused by certain inflammations

Some children with sinusitis will have a constant runny nose, but if the runny nose cannot drain out, they may also experience a headache. This type of headache usually occurs on the same side as the affected sinus and is aggravated by bending over or lowering the head. In addition, some parents block both nostrils at the same time when blowing their children's noses due to the incorrect method, forcing the children to blow their noses outwards. As a result, the snot is not blown out, but the purulent secretions flow into the Eustachian tube, causing otitis media, which can also cause headaches in children. The headache caused by otitis media also occurs on the same side as the affected ear. Moreover, children often feel pain in the affected ear at the same time as the headache. They press the painful ear and cry loudly, and sometimes pus can even be seen in the ear. If you have a headache caused by inflammation, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid affecting your hearing in the future.

3. Headaches caused by lifestyle factors

Many children have extremely irregular schedules during holidays and are addicted to electronic products for a long time. If they use their eyes for a long time without enough rest and sleep, it will also cause headaches. For this type of child, parents should work with him to establish some life systems, and try not to let the child overuse his eyes for a long time.
