HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to take him to be seen by a doctor. It is possible that there may be an underlying cause, besides migraines for the headaches.
Many viral infections may be associated with headaches eg the flu, cough/cold but it can also occur with more serious illnesses.
Since the headache is so severe and it has been ongoing for a prolonged period of time, then he should be seen as soon as possible.
I hope this helps
