Shooting/Ice pick headaches in 7yo

My 7 yo dd has been complaining of shooting/stabbing pains in her forehead the last few weeks. They stop her in her tracks, she shouts ‘ow!’ and clutches her head and then as soon as that happens they are gone and she’s fine again! It’s really bizarre. It happened a few times a couple of weeks ago, then she was fine. Then yesterday she had one and again today. She says ‘ow mum, the pain just shot me again’. I can’t give her calpol because once it’s gone she’s fine. I’m going to contact the gp in the morn. She has no other issues. No vomiting, visual issues etc. has anyone else experienced this and knows if it’s a cause for concern? Thanks

@Reindear hi hope your DD is fine now and all good. I was wondering if you got to know what or why it was ? As my DS has sharp shooting pain in one side which lasts for a few seconds and then he is fine. Was wanting to check with other moms any info would help. Thanks

Hi, i never found out the cause. She had a thorough check at the dr and at the opticians and no concerns there. She doesn’t get them as often now, maybe twice a month if that. I’m hoping she’s growing out of them
