DS has had a headache since Monday lunchtime

[ImRonBurgandy]

DS is 14. He got a bad headache at school on Monday. It went away slightly with painkillers but was still there on Tuesday so I let him stay home in bed to try and get rid of it. Long story short he went back to school yesterday and he still has it now. He says it's throbbing and is mainly on his right temple. He has no fever, has only reported slight nausea this morning (he is eating and drinking normally so just made him breakfast to see if that helps), no visual disturbances, no rashes. He looks well.
Do I just carry on giving him painkillers and go on as normal? When do you worry about a headache?

He's eaten, drunk and had a shower and still feels nauseous. I'll try and get a gp appointment and I've sent him back to bed.

My son went through a period of cluster migraines around this age, probably due to hormones. He had to get medication from the GP as he was in agony and constantly being sick. I’d definitely see your GP as ordinary painkillers don’t work with migraines. Hope he’s better soon.

Thanks that's really helpful. I've requested an appointment so hopefully they can see him today.

Could be Covid. I had the most horrendous headache recently but no other symptoms. I only tested as my husband was making a curry and I couldn’t smell it !!

@ImRonBurgandy i know this is quite old, but just wondering if the headaches improved?

Pretty classic migraine
Usually starts y9
