So , I personally am I chronic migraine sufferer and have been for many years, part of my condition I get what is called primary stab headaches or otherwise known as ice pick headaches which is basically as it sounds - short stabs of pain gone in seconds .
Anyway , when my daughter was about 3 she had a phase of suddenly crying with random sharp pains in her head . At time she was experiencing a few colds so doctor wasn’t concerned and to be honest the time between these attacks was far and wide between and the attacks would be over in seconds . This seemed to disappear but over last few months same things seem to be happening … she will be happily playing then suddenly point or clutch her head and say ouch my head .. within seconds it’s like it never happened . I question her about it and she says she’s fine and it’s gone now .
She is very well in herself , never I’ll and is highly energetic and full of life at all times .
Would you be concerned ? She has had a few ear issues over last year( recurrent ear pain ) so I have pushed for ent referral but in all honestly she hasn’t complained of ear ache in a long while now . The headaches are happening 1-2 times a week at very most witt nothing of concern in between . No eye issues that we know of . Eating and drinking well and no sleep issues . Always happens very randomly no triggers .
