Help for headaches? Not sure of the cause

[ilovedogs]

Hi all, I was wondering if any of your kids get headaches. My ds gets them periodically and they will happen on and off for a few days. I have not been able to determine a cause except that maybe it's seasonal allergies. I had thought he was dehydrated so I've been increasing his liquids especially water. I haven't called the naturopath in a while to check with him but I thought I'd check with you all to see if you have any remedies or ideas. I don't think it's from supplements as nothing has changed in months, etc. So, for now I'm giving him ibuprofen which works, but I always like to explore natural treatments too! Thanks

Bonnie,

Is his eyesight okay? He may need glasses.

 

My ds will get headaches if he goes too long without eating but that is really rare (once in a wonder). Sometimes I pack him stuff for lunch that he doesn't like and then he will go hungry rather than eat it.

 

Does he eat/drink caffeine? I try to stay away from it but whenever I do indulge I often get a 'rebound' headache that will last a few days when I go through 'caffeine withdrawal' and let me tell you, nothing-- no pain killer, head-on application, etc... will stop it until enough time passes.

 

Just a few ideas. I noticed your post went unanswered.
