DS aged 7 is sent home from school I would guess once a month with a bad headache. He has a mild temperature with it and the headache lasts a few days. I'm convinced he is poorly and not putting it on as 1- it's a long time for a 7yr old to put on the pretence, 2-I can see it in his eyes and he cries in pain and 3-he misses out on fun stuff and not just the 'boring lessons' at school! We've been to the GP a couple of times and been fobbed off with no obvious issue. We're going back. I'm planning on taking a print out of his attendance at school to show how often he's poorly and whether there's a pattern. Any thing else people can advise? I'm not asking dr google as I don't want to panic myself!!
