<i>When your child has a headache</i>

Children are thought to be no less prone than adults to dull or throbbing pains of the head. The Nemours Foundation mentions following common triggers of headaches in children: * Getting insufficient sleep, or rapidly changing the patterns of sleep * Missing meals or becoming dehydrated * Taking certain medications * Being under stress * Experiencing hormonal changes * Spending too much time in front of the TV or computer * Receiving a mild head injury or having an infection * Spending a long time riding in the car * Inhaling strong odors * Consuming caffeine and/or smoking
