thanks for the question. its very important to know if he has watery eyes ,photophobia, any particular time for headache in a day., vomitting or nausea. if all these are present then relatively indicates migraine. also if any food or emotional event triggers it or not. also please check for anything if it is upsetting him. sometimes it is cover mechanism for children.
