6 y/o son has headache on left side of head for a full day now?!
Question: 6 y/o son has headache on left side of head for a full day now.?
Since yesterday he's been telling me that his head hurts in one spot, especially if he runs or jumps. At times (last 24 hrs) he seems to be feeling ok. He plays and smiles. Other times he acts like his head has started hurting again in the same spot and lays down and rests. I can tell he's not faking. He says it hurts/he can feel it the whole time. But that sometimes it hurts worse.
When I ask him where it hurts, he touches the same spot on his head every time. When he plays, I try to keep him from over exertion, like running or wrestling. I'm starting to worry...is this more than just a headache.? Is it something serious I should be worried about since it's stays in one spot on his left side.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Not to worry you but I would take him to a doctor asap because I dont believe children supposed to get headaches.? It may just be a sinus infection or something else but I would take him and have him checked out anyway
Hope your lil guy feels better soon!

Since he is only 6 years old it's hard to know if he did something serious to his head that you don't know about. He could have fallen or bumped his head when you weren't watching and he isn't telling you. May be a slight concussion. I know you are just looking for opinions and advice but ultimately, it is wise to get him checked out by a doctor.Health Question & Answer
