Get the Headache Diary
Headaches in kids can be really tricky, especially if they are very young and unable to tell you how they feel.
Keeping a headache diary can help you and your child narrow down patterns and helps your provider manage you better.
Also know some of the red flag symptoms.
Glad to have you here. I am Dr Nkeiru. I am board certified Pediatrician and public health physician who practices emergency medicine.
Working in the ER, I hear a lot of concerns from parents. Some make midnight visits for concerns that may have been cared for at home or by their PCP. As a mom who had older kids before I became a pediatrician, I learned a lot of things I did incorrectly. That is why I use several platforms to share resources for evidence-based health and parenting advice. These aim to not only help them with parenting but also prevent unnecessary ER visits.
