Suggest Treatment For Headache, Dizziness And Stomach Problems Of A 9 Year Old
My 9 year old boy complains of headaches in the eyebrows. He gets it after watching a movie where it is dark than light and when going to bed, going from light to dark.Sometimes he has stomach upset and dizziness as well. We use homeopathic remedies for dizziness and headache. Is there anything else we can do?

Thank you for following up.We should do differentiatial diagnostic of your child headache:
Acute single episode:
- with meningism, accompanied by neck stiffness
- head injury
- sinusitis(dull ache over frontal or maxillary sinuses)
- tropical illness:malaria
- low blood pressure
Recurrent acute attacks of headache:

- Medication overuse
