Hello,
Headaches are common in childhood.
Most of the time, they are nothing to worry about and are caused by common minor illnesses, a mild bump to the head, lack of sleep, not getting enough food or drink, or stress.
So, you should not be worried.
I suggest to give him Acetaminophen for the headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
