What Causes Constant Headache In Children?
My 13 yr. old daughter has been having a daily ongoing headache for 11 months. Along with the headache she has experienced nausea, lack of sleep, and now depression. She has been tested for allergies (and we have eliminated those foods), MRI/MRV and LP - no problems there. She does wear glasses and her vision has been thoroughly examined. She was also tested for Marfans and the genetic test was negative. What else is left that could possibly cause ongoing headache?

dear friend
childhood migraine in your daughter's case is a very possible diagnosis.
specially because of the associated issues
If possible please visit a pain specialist/neurologist and raise the doubt of her having possibility of migraine, at times doctors too need suggestion to start a thought process due to their busy schedule.
There are many alternatives available to control the illness unfortunately all being prescription medication it will not be possible for me to prescribe them here.
