Suffering From Constant Headaches At Nights, Stomach Aches, Sore Body, Taking Tylenol. What To Do ?
My 13 year old son is suffering from headaches up to 2 to 4 times a week, mostley at nights. These head aches has been going on for about 8 months and just in the past 4 months comes along stomache aches and sore body with theses head aches. Doctor thinks maybe not eating enough before bed, low surgers and giving him tylonel at night and feeding him should help. What should I do now?

The nature of headaches and associated gastrointestinal problems are suggestive of possible childhood migraine. You can consult neurologist for ruling out secondary causes of headache. If none are present then your son would benefit from prophylactic medications for migraine
