What could be causing my six year old to get headaches?

Question

She has had them off and on for ten days. She is not sick. Allergies, ear/sinus infection?

Answer 1

If there is no evidence of anything, you should go to the doctor, but I would recommend you to check the food you are giving to your daughter. Consider that canned food has a lot of preservatives and colours which are really very bad for health.

Answer 2

If she reads, have her eyes checked.  I started getting headaches when I was that age due to eye strain from reading.  I needed glasses.  Once I got them my headaches pretty much went away unless I was having sinus issues.  If you are under an air quality advisory in your area this may be the cause as well.  When the air quality is poor, keep her inside.  Either way, you may want to take her to the doctor for a check up just to be on the safe side.

Answer 3

My daughter who is seven also gets headaches,she gets them when under stress,just like me.I believe it is just something hereditary in my case,however if her headache is not going away you should cal her Dr could need eyeglasses,have a sinus infection,or a virus.I hope she gets well soon-GOD-bless
