What Is The Cause Of Headache?
2 1/2 year old granddaughter told me while she was playing with me that her head hurt this afternoon.
I mentioned this to her mom and mom said she said the same thing to her last night. Should we be
wait till she mentions this again or should she be taken to her pediatrician

If she keeps complaining of headache and the problem persists long enough (more that 15 mins), if the child stops playing and looks unhappy or sick because of the headache, it is advisable to visit the Paediatrician once. Ask her how it feels when her head hurts.
A word of caution, do not discuss your own headache repeatedly infront of the child, as that may prompt her to mimick you.
