What Causes Severe Headaches?
My 16 year old daughter is suffering from a terrible headache that she claims has been ongoing for about a week. She reports that it s mostly in the back of her head near the cervical spine and that the pain comes and goes in intensity and travels around to different locations in her head. She is a wrestler and a soccer player. She has mild scoliosis. She notices pain in her eyes at times as well. She wears contacts. Coach sent her home today - said she looked pale and saw her hanging her head in pain. I m worried. Not sure if this is something minor that will pass or something more serious. Perhaps there are some at home remedies I can try to help in hopes it will pass? Thank you. Lisa

Hello,
If the pain continuous and it has not to do with a recent outer damage (any hit in the head while playing), you should take your daughter to a doctor (neurologyst) and take a head MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
