What Causes Headache To A 5 Year Old?
My 5 years old daughter claimed often she has headache (at the left side of the top portion of the head). She perspired quite heavily and the sign could be seen from her wet hair, I am wondering if dehydration as the result of this perspiration could be the cause of the headache. I do not know any other details I should provide, but I can provide the requested specifically to question.

Hello dear,welcome to health care magic forum.
You haven't mentioned for how long is the problem there.if this is of long duration we have to consider causes like migraine. Else other causes like dehydration (usually causes bilateral head ache), sinusitis etc are likely.
A more detailed history and a physical examination might be helpful. Your doctor will guide you. Thank you.
