What Causes Head Pain?

Hi I have a 18 month old son who seems to be getting head pain. He cant talk yet to tell me anything but sometimes puts his hands to his head and eyes for a few seconds multiple times throughout the day. He also sometimes screams and then does this. It doesnt seem ongoing, just every now and then throughout the day in spurts of a few seconds.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Often headaches are part of a constellation of symptoms that accompany issues like a cold or the flu. Dehydration could also be the source of the problem, as can an ear infection or a teething issue that feels like a headache. In very rare cases, a headache could be the sign of something more ominous (like a tumor or meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes covering the brain), but that’s far less likely.
You just give him syp. paracetamol for it if not relieved within 5-7 days consult a doctor.
