Hello there,

Headaches in kids can be really tricky, especially if they are very young and unable to tell you how they feel.

Headaches might be mild and caused by viral or minor bacterial infections. But other major causes such as head injury and masses or major bacterial infections such as meningitis are very concerning

Here are a few red flag symptoms as well as a headache diary template (adapted from the National Headache Foundation) to help you record symptoms and discuss with your child’s privider for further care.
