Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your son is mostly having Migraine.
So tell him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in migraine.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
3. Avoid Fasting and take your meals timely.
4. Take propranolol and flunarizine combination at night time before going to sleep.
5. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
6. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
