What causes headaches in children?

Q: My son age is 11 years. He will tell headache once in fifteen days and also during the exams. Already once we have consulted an eye specialist. But he told he is not having any eyes problem. Please give your valuable suggestion to me because every time I am facing confusion and tension due to my sons problem.

A:Although your description of your childs headaches are very brief and sketchy, the possibilities in your childs case are:a) Stress induced headaches, b) Childhood migraine. It is unlikely to be a tumour or a brain infection. It would be worth while meeting your neurologist.
