My dd(4) has been suffering from horrendous migraines for about 9 months now. In the last couple of months we've begun to notice a pattern in them. Everytime there is sudden loud noise she immediatly cries and says she has a headache. Preschool have noticed this as well and this is a very unobservant preschool, believe me!! Anyway, its getting more and more frequent that this is happening. The advice from the neurologist 3 months ago was that everytime she says she has a headache we must give her calpol to try and stave off a full on migraine. This does seem to work but in the last 4 weeks she's having calpol nearly everyday which I'm not happy about.
She is sleeping more and more and more as well. We're now having to get her to bed at 6:30 and she's getting up at 8:30 the next morning. But she looks absolutly shattered with great dark rings under her eyes. She's also having an afternoon nap probably once a week.
The noises that set her off aren't horrendously loud. A chair on the floor, traffic, ds shouting, hoover. And given she has a mild hearing loss and is unaided these really shouldn't be sounding loud to her.
Does anyone have any advice. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to call the paed.
