Dd is 10 and has been suffering from migraines for a while now I think, although I've only made the connection today. She's had a severe headache all day at school today, felt sick, had tummy ache. When she told a playground supervisor at break she was told to sit on a bench for a while and tell her teacher when she got back to the classroom, which she didn't as she didn't think they'd do anything. When she got home I gave a paracetamol and she went to bed until about 7pm, nothing to eat.
My question is, what do I do about school? I think she needs to be sent home when she gets a migraine but obviously the school don't know she's a sufferer. Should I get a doctors note?
I'm a migraine sufferer myself so know how awful it is. If I got one at work I would have to go home so I really feel for dd having to sit through lessons today.
