How To Treat Headache In A 10 Years Old Child?

My 10 yr old has been having headaches (back of his head), neck pain and some eye pain for a few weeks. At its worst it brings tears and has missed some school. We tried alleve morning and night, good diet and proper hydration for 5 days. It never went away. He has an upper and lower wire in his mouth. I removed both prior to a dentist visit (for 5 days) to see if that would help. It got better but didn t go away. The dentist asked if he had fallen. I had forgotten that he had. He missed the soccer ball and landed on the asphalt, back, head and tailbone. He kept the wire out and sent us to an Osteopath that we have been to before. He worked on his pelvis,neck and head. He immediately felt great but after a day it all came back and a few days later he was in tears again. I intend to call his pediatrician again on Monday. I guess I m wondering if we should wait out the treatments with the osteopath to see if they start to help (he had a lot of tension in his neck), go to the eye doctor or a neurologist. Thoughts, ideas? - Jenny

Pediatrician 's  Response
thanks for your query.
From your history your child has a chronic headache which is not episodic and not associated with nosea and vomiting.
It may be referred pain from teethes or neck or may be due to refraction errors in eyes.
I suggest you to visit a ophthalmologist for eye testing first and if it is normal consider a neck xray to find out any problem in neck. also remember that these all problem may be due to orthodontic treatment going on his teethes.
