Re: Headaches in Children
I'm not a parent, but I had headaches a lot as a kid. I'm not really sure when they started, but I know the doctors originally thought that my sinuses just weren't developed. But then I was diagnosed with migraines when I was 11 so they wondered if I'd just been having migraines all those years (though frankly, the headaches I started having at 11 were so much worse than the ones I'd had previously). I've had multiple MRIs since I was 11 and everything is normal.
I know they say headaches are rare in children, but I think they're more common than generally believed. Especially now - I'm not sure how much screen time your son gets, but I know screen time can trigger headaches for me so I wonder if kids who get a lot aren't getting headaches from that.
And, it may be that his vision needs correcting, but just isn't bad enough yet that he's brought it up.
Try to relax (easier said than done, I'm sure!) until after the appointment next week. If you're still worried, just call your GP and ask. But headaches, even in kids, don't always mean something sinister.
