What Causes Headache And Blurry Vision In Children?
My 11 yr. old daughter had a mild headache this morning that developed into severe pain by noon. She complained of her vision went blurry, feeling dizzy, and nauseous. She complained that even the talking of kids at school were too loud and hurt her head. She continues to feel tired with now a mild headache. This has happened to her in the past, but her doctor did not seem to think anything of it. No tests have been run. How concerned should I be?

Hi.... I understand your concern by what you cope I feel that your kid might be having two possibilities.
1. Migraine headache
2. Intracranial tumor or neoplasm
Right now no investigations are required. I suggest that you get her blood pressure checked once and if this is normal no need to do any imaging or scanning. This seems to be a migraine problem only.
whenever there are symptoms like this use of pain killers should be ok.
