Children do get headaches. They usually say, "My head hurts".
Causes of headaches in children may stem from an illness or a viral infection. In the older child, it could be related to over-excitement, tension, stress or a vision problem.
For a mild headache, lay your child down in a quiet darkened room with a cool face towel on their forehead. If the headache persists, Calpol Paediatric Suspension can provide relief of pain from headaches.
Headaches in children – when to worry
