Hi,

Headache can be from many causes. We need few more details to have an idea- when did this start? Where exactly is the pain? Any associated fever, nausea, vomiting or visual disturbance? Any family history of migraine? For now, give him paracetamol or ibuprofen to control headache. Give plenty of fluids and let him take rest for sometime. If it is not coming down, we need evaluation for the cause and treat accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
