Headache or Something More?

Waking up in the middle of the night due to a headache or an increasing frequency and intensity of headaches can be signs of a potentially serious condition.
Vomiting in the early morning or during the night alongside headaches is a concerning symptom that warrants medical evaluation.
Migraines can cause headaches and vomiting during the night, so these symptoms are not always indicative of a more severe illness.
Warning signs that require urgent medical attention include sudden severe headache, vomiting, personality or behavior changes, weakness, vision problems, seizures, and neurological deficits.
Most headaches in children are related to mild or primary headache disorders like migraines or tension-type headaches, but persistent or worsening symptoms need professional evaluation.
Regular communication and monitoring by healthcare providers can help differentiate between benign and serious causes of headaches in children.
