2 year old eye/head ache

Hello, In the last 5 nights my 2 year old has woke up 3 of the nights complaining about his 'eye' I am assuming that it might be his head or a head ache? Has anyone else experienced this before? I'm really worried

Is it always the same eye? Head too or just the eye? Does It hurt during the day ever? IT sounds like he might have had a dream the first night and now might be waking you up for the novelty of it. If it hurts during the day, or is a headache too, see if calpol helps. If it does, maybe get it checked out by the GP

Kids don't make up headaches for the novelty of it. Night time headaches should be taken seriously as they can be the result of a build up of pressure in the head when lying down. I would make an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a good check up and take it from there.

He doesn't get head aches through the day at all and when I ask him about it he says it's ok on a day time, he still has a nap through the day and he's not waking through his nap only through the night. I'm going to take him to the GP im just so worried I wondered if anyone else had anything like this because I've had about 2 hours sleep I'm so concerned

I would get him checked out. They may want to do an MRI on him, but don't panic, as that's fairly standard check.

Chances are it's just one of those things, but it's always worth checking sooner rather than later.
