What Causes An Infant To Complain Of Headaches And Problem Of Light Sensitiveness?
Hello,
My 20 month old daughter complains of headache pain and is very sensitive to bright lights. She hides away in dark areas and sometimes changes her behaviour. She usually complains of pain when she wakes up. Could this be brain tumor or something else?

Hi...she is quoting the symptoms of photo phobia. This occurs in various causes like migraine to albinism. I suggest you get her evaluated with a pediatrician and she will also need an ophthalmologist evaluation too.
