Headache Clinic
Nafaur’s Neurocare provides specialist consultation for children with frequent or severe headaches. Headaches can affect a child’s sleep, school work, mood and daily activities. Some headaches are mild, while others need careful medical attention.
Children may develop headaches due to migraine, poor sleep, dehydration, eye problems, stress or other health conditions. In some cases, headaches may relate to hydrocephalus, brain tumors, head injuries or brain infections.
Common symptoms include:
- Repeated or severe headaches
- Headache with nausea or vomiting
- Morning headache
- Headache with blurred vision
- Headache after a head injury
- Headache with dizziness
- Headache with seizures
- Headache that affects school activities
Our Headache Clinic focuses on finding possible causes and guiding parents about suitable care. The doctor reviews the child’s symptoms and medical history. The doctor may also check previous MRI, CT scan or EEG reports when needed.
Treatment depends on the cause of the headache. Some children need lifestyle changes and migraine care. Others may need further tests or specialist treatment.
Warning signs: Seek urgent medical care if your child has a sudden severe headache, repeated vomiting, seizure, weakness, confusion, fever with neck stiffness or unusual sleepiness. A headache that gets worse or wakes a child from sleep also needs prompt medical assessment.
