Suggest Medication For Pain In Forehead Due To Long Hours Of Watching TV
I ve noticed for the past two weeks my 4 year Old will sporadically say her forehead hurts. For example, a few nights ago she was resting watching television and out of the blue she held her forehead and said it hurt. She then fell off to sleep. Another incident, she was playing with her sister and grabbed her forehead and said it hurt then continued to play. She has a history of allergies and migraines run in our family.

Hi,
Ok,it could be migraine. But at children we should initially rule out intracranial abnormalities,then go for oftalmological evaluation to rule out any refractory areas and also check the fundus.
I suggest Ibuprofen or Paracetamol like as painkillers and avoid all factors which aggravate her headache and keep headache diary which will help you in proper understanding of the headache.
Hope it helps
