Migraine Headaches

Most children will experience at least one headache before the age of 15 so it important for parents to understand how to help children with migraines. Most of these are caused by viral illnesses, such as a cold or the flu. Children can also get typical tension-type headaches as well. About 5% to 10% grade school children will get a migraine and up to 20% of adolescents will experience one. Prior to adolescence, boys will have migraines a bit more often than girls, but after puberty girls are nearly 3 times more likely to have migraine headaches.
