Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Has Headache. Normal CT Scan. Blood In Stool. Should Diet Be Changed?
My 7 year old has been complaining of constant headaches that linger from morning, until day s end. This has been going on for about 2 months now. He complains two or three times a day that they get worse. He typically complains the most after lunch, then it subsides some and gets worse again before dinner and then again before bed. We had a ct scan which came back normal. I also had the memory tonight of him occasionally telling us that he had some blood in his stool...should we be considering a diet change for him? I am not sure what kind of doctor we should be seeking. I have heard everything from neurologist to chiropractor to ear nose and throat to allergist .
Hi,
If CT head is normal it is great rules out brain tumours.
The other possibilities are eye refraction problems needs check up for glasses.
Migraine is a possibility but can not be every day pain!
Sinusitis is a possibility.
First general pediatrician should examine and then refer to the specialist or you can start with eye doctor first. Good luck
