What are the alternative remedies for migraine in an 8-year-old?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query.

I completely understand your concern about your daughter. If everything has been checked and the final diagnosis is migraine, there is no need to worry. Yes, migraine headaches, and sometimes other vague pains related to migraines (referred to as migraine equivalents), can occur in children.

One effective approach is to eliminate migraine triggers from your daughter's environment and diet. Known migraine triggers include onion, cheese, cabbage, coffee, chocolate, canned beans, banana, foods with preservatives, perfumes, deodorant sprays, and strong odors. Also, factors like hunger and sudden drops in temperature can act as stimulants. Keeping her frontal area warm in cold months and ensuring her hair is thoroughly dried after a bath may help reduce the frequency of headaches.

However, despite these preventive measures, migraine headaches may persist. In such cases, medical therapy is necessary. I suggest you discuss this with your daughter's doctor.

I hope this information helps you.

Thank you.
