Headaches

7 replies

My 8 year old has been complaining about a headache for 6 days...
It's bothering her but she is able to go about her day but it's there and she says it's constantly there...
She says loud lessons etc are bothering her.
Any thoughts or experiences of the same?
She is drinking plenty - picky eater but always has been.
Been referred for bloods as a first step but appointments for paeds is a long wait...

Eyes tested recently?

@bloodywhitecat
She wears glasses - mild prescription - don't think anything that can cause headache (similar to mine as a child) and prescription was changed in the summer...

I think she has adhd - not sure if relevant

Wondering if a deficiency could cause this as not a fabulous eater (but I do give a kids multi vitamin when remembered - prob at least 3/4 times a week)

Or what else...

Ha she has a covid test? Headache was a key symptom for me and the main one for my DD12 when she had covid

@thirstyformore I do LFTs on my kids a couple of times a week and they've always been negative...

Her sister had it a couple of months ago and she didn't even catch from her when they were sharing a tiny room at the time... (pcrs and LFTs for those checks)

But maybe false negatives are possible...
I'm aware there was a case in her class not too long ago...
