Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, pain in forehead could be due to migraine, space occupying lesion in brain, weak eyesight. If the pain is very acute then child should be taken immediately to emergency and imaging like CT scan or MRI needs to be done. If pain is not that much then proper investigation should be done like a checkup should be done for refraction, ENT check up should be done to rule out migraine, is symptom persist then CT scan or MRI should be done. you can give paracetamol syrup 15 milligram per kg at the time of headache. Take care.
