What Causes Recurrent Headaches And Lack Of Focus In A Child?

My nephew is 7 years old and has been complaining of headaches for several years.His eye sight has been checked and it is fine. Most recently he complained that he was trying to write the letter B and all he could write was a P. His teacher says she has noticed lately that she has to prompt him several times to complete his work. She said he seems to be daydreaming. We are waiting to get an MRI done bit was wondering what might be some possibilities of what we may be dealing with.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello
As per the symptoms you have told,i would like to have a detailed physical examination of the child including Central Nervous System examination.Without that i can not exactly tell as a lot of conditions present like this.Some of them are worrisome and some are not.
Also i would like to have history of measles whether he got that infection anytime or not?
Headache could be due to sinusitis but behavioral change is something that should be inverstigated upon.
Hope it will help :-)
