Ds2 had a serious of headaches end of last year and beginning of this year. Always at the end of the day, at dinner time and bed time. Treated with calpol. He had his eyes tested (wears glasses) and optimism said they were fine. They then stopped as he seemed OK in him self. Then the last week or so they have started again and he's been complaining of pains in his wrist and elbow? It isn't swollen and I can't see anything wrong with it. He is using it. Iv given him nurofen his evening hoping that may help. He is using the arm. I said to him I would take him to doctors tomorrow if it still hurts. He's eating and drinking fine and not 'ill' but is grouchy. Will the doctors just say headaches are normal or say it's 'growing pains'? I just wondered when you should be concerned about he had aches in children?
