What Causes Causes Headache, Drowsiness And Nausea In A Child?

My daughter is 10 years old (09/19/2000) and over the last week and a half she has been experiencing headaches, nausea (no vomiting), drowsiness, and other symptoms in the morning when she wakes up. One day -- I had to keep her home from school her symptoms were so bad -- she slept until 12noon that day. I just started keeping a log of her symptoms today since it has continued to happen.

Hi... by what you say I feel that your daughter is experiencing migraine without aura. I also suggest that you give her pain killers on need basis, if she has this severe headache. But if she has vomiting and loss of consciousness or altered sensorium along with headache and double vision then I suggest that you take her to the nearest Emergency Room.
