Migraine is a type of pounding, throbbing headache often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, noise and odors. Doctors and scientists still do not completely understand the exact cause of migraine, but changes in blood vessels in the brain and some genetic factors are known to play a role. Migraines are also known to affect children in whom the symptoms may include stomach upset and vomiting. Treatment of migraines is directed at relieving the headache and the associated nausea along with drugs to prevent future attacks

Migraine Headache in Children and Adolescents
A migraine is usually an intense pounding headache with nausea that occurs from time to time. The pounding or pulsing pain usually begins in the forehead, the side of the head or around the eyes. The headache gradually gets worse. Just about any movement or activity seems to make it hurt more. Nausea and vomiting are common. Bright lights or loud noises make the headache worse. The headache can last for two hours or even up to two or three days. Some people see a pattern of lines or shadows in front of their eyes as the headache is beginning. This is called a "warning aura." Most people with migraine do not have this.
