What should a 14-year-old patient do to prevent headaches?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. You have been experiencing head and dizziness for five months. I am going to ask you a few questions. Please answer them

1. Do you experience headaches daily?
2. Does any aggravating or relieving factor make headache intense?
3. You mentioned you had vomited once. Do you feel nauseous due to a headache?
4. Do you have any troubles with vision?
5. Do you experience symptoms of ear fullness, ear discharge, or tinnitus?
6. Have you got your blood pressure and hemoglobin levels checked before?
7. Would you like to mention the past history?
8. Have you visited any doctor for the above symptoms as they have been present for five months?
9. Has your doctor guided you?

I need medical history to evaluate your query. If needed, I might recommend some imaging tests to find the cause of the headache. So I asked the above questions to find out the cause. Here I would suggest you answer the above questions and try tablet Paracetamol 500 mg once a day or Ibuprofen as they help relieve pain. It would be better if you visited a nearby doctor for guidance. After knowing the details of the present query through the above questions, I will be able to guide you further. Take care.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

After reading your reply, I can conclude that your headache is due to disturbed and inadequate sleep. There is nothing to worry about it. Make a schedule and sleep regularly. It is important to sleep a minimum of seven hours daily. Make your room soothing while you sleep, and keep away the electronic gadgets for at least half an hour before sleeping. Do not take Paracetamol frequently. Rather, do lifestyle modifications, including early morning exercise, reducing the afternoon nap, avoiding tea or coffee before bedtime, etc. The cause of fainting is also clear from the medical history that it was a lack of sleep. Vomiting is unrelated to the headache, and the headache is not regular, so do not worry about it. Hope I was able to guide you. Take care.

Thanks.
