DD has complained of a headache on and off all week and came home early from nursery because of it today.
Dozed on and off on sofa, refused food and drink and held her head, crying from time to time. Clearly in pain. Took to walk in centre who said glands in neck slightly raised, maybe dehydrated and/or kidney infection. However has no pain in abdomen and while urine very strong - think this is because she doesn't want food or drink.
She woke before crying with the head pain. So have given more Calpol but am a bit concerned - really don't think it can be kidneys. She has no rash and doesn't seem to have neck stiffness.
What should I do? She's sleeping now - if she wakes in pain should I go to A and E?
