Hi, headache in a 7 year old child could be due to hypertension, refractive error in eyes, trauma to head or intracranial pathology. Most common cause of headache is refractive error, so you should get your child eyes check for refractive error. Other causes could be hypertension so get the blood pressure checked. MRI brain should be done to rule out intracranial pathology. Revert back with above reports. Take care.
