When Your Child Has a Headache - What To Do?

Follow these tips to soothe the pain. Headaches can cause big pain in little kids, and parents want to do whatever they can to ease their children's suffering. The Nemours Foundation lists these tips to ease headache pain in children: 1. Have your child rest in a cool, dark room, and make sure it is quiet. 2, Lay a cool, damp cloth across your child's eyes or forehead. 3. Help your child relax. 4. Show your child how to breathe deeply and slowly. Then, call his or her pediatrician if the headaches continue and/or do not improve for an immediate consultation and appropriate diagnosis.
