my daughter has been complaining about having migraines since yesterday and has also been sick and still feels sick does anyone know what the problem could be she has also been very tired and is sensitive to light
Hi Terri,
I wouldnt mess about here with these symptoms, yes they could possibly be a migraine, but equally somthing more serious, get to emergency asap is my advice!
I dont want to worry you, but better safe than sorry
Migraines can come for many reasons, stress,meal th issues. Even eye strain.
A doctor visits may be needed if this lingers. So sorry they are horrible
no bright light or loud noises and cold pack on head. Keep the room dark. Wear sunglasses to protect against light. Eat soft foods and drink plenty of water and electrolyte juices and protien shakes. This will help take it down a notch or two. Especially if the migraine is caused by dehydration.
there are over the counter migraine meds. Available. Also some may require a RX. Imetrex.
hope this passes soon.
Ya just never know. I am not a doc just going my my years of experience from migraines. Two week during my period cycle got migraines.mafter menopause they stopped. I had RX for serious migraines which really helped.,
These symptoms sounds more sinister to me thats all.
Not sure what sinister means? Could you add more info? Is your daughter having migraines over long periods of time and what is her age if I Amy ask.,if she has a pediatrician a appt may answer many questions regarding migraines are very painful.
I am talking about the daughter of Teri. Sinister in this case means it could potentially be harmful
I guess you are reading all these replies and worrying, but please dont hang about as the symptoms aslo match a condition that is not very nice at all. Thats all I am saying. Good luck Terri and please let us know how you get on
I see. Got ya. Serious medical condition.would be a definition .
yes we discussed that.😊
Thank you.
Terri,
light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, nausea, these are ckassic migraine symptoms.
Your daughter is truly ill. I am curious, if you knew it was migraine, why isn't she on medication? I hope you are not treating her like she just has a headache.
Migraine is a debilitating disease that requires medical intervention.
A pediatric emergency room visit is warranted. Take along a bucket because the movement can bring on wretching.
What condition that is not very nice at all. I don't understand what your talking about? 😱
This sounds like a classic migraine to me. Has she had migraines before, if not, best get her checked out at the doctors.
Hi, Terri.
You don't say how old your daughter is. Is she menstruating? Hormonal fluctuations can also be a cause of migraines. Definitely check out her diet to see what foods may be a trigger for her. Is she under a lot of stress? Exercise and relaxation techniques will serve her well. Excedrin Migraine works well as an abortive med. There are a lot of good informative posts here and a lot of non-pharmaceutical options. Migraine is debilitating but if she starts having these often, I'd recommend a visit to a neurologist to rule out anything serious. Don't panic but don't minimize her symptoms either. It takes a few days to recuperate after having one. Best to all of you and keep us posted.
