Does My Child Need to See a Specialist?

If your child is experiencing regular headaches or migraines, you’re not alone. Many children face ongoing headaches without a clear diagnosis or effective treatment, but there’s hope. You don’t have to wait to seek help.

You should consider booking an appointment if:

• Your child has frequent or intense headaches
• Over-the-counter treatments aren’t working
• You’re unsure whether the headaches are migraines
• The headaches are interfering with your child’s daily life, school, or activities
• Previous treatments have not provided relief

Seeking specialist care can be a game-changer. With the right diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan, many families see significant improvement in their child’s condition. We’re here to guide you through the next steps toward a solution.

How We Can Help

We understand how difficult it can be when your child struggles with migraines or frequent headaches. These conditions can impact their ability to enjoy school, play, and interact with friends. Our goal is to provide the best care, combining safe, effective treatments with lifestyle adjustments that can bring real relief.

Our team includes Dr Rajesh Pandey, Consultant Paediatrician in Neurodevelopment and Epilepsy, and Dr Katy Kyprianou, GP with a special interest in migraine and neurology. This allows us to offer the most appropriate care pathway based on your child’s symptoms, age, and clinical needs.

Our services include:

• Lifestyle Adjustments: We’ll work with you to identify potential headache triggers, like sleep patterns, diet, stress, or screen time, and develop simple, practical strategies to manage them.
• Medication Management: We’ll review any current treatments and recommend the most appropriate medications to reduce headache frequency and severity.
• Family Support: Managing migraines in children requires teamwork. We’ll provide ongoing support to both you and your child, ensuring everyone is informed and confident in the treatment plan.
• Ongoing Care: We don’t just address symptoms; we’ll monitor your child’s progress and adjust treatments as needed to ensure continued relief.

We Can Help with the Following Headache and Migraine Symptoms and Conditions

Headaches and migraines can be difficult to pinpoint, especially when they affect your child’s daily activities. We offer expert care for children experiencing:

• Chronic Migraine: Frequent, disabling headaches, often accompanied by nausea or light sensitivity, which can interfere with school and activities.
• Tension-Type Headache: A sensation of tightness or pressure around the head, often linked to stress or posture.
• Abdominal Migraine: A type of migraine where symptoms are mainly stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, rather than the typical headache.
• Medication Overuse Headache: If your child has been using pain relief medication too often, it can lead to worsening headaches, which we can help manage.
• Migraine with Aura: Visual or sensory disturbances that occur before the headache, often causing concern for both children and parents.

Whether your child’s headaches are occasional or frequent, we’re here to provide a thorough diagnosis and guide you toward effective treatment options.

The Midland Health Approach

Every child deserves personalised care. From your first consultation, we will take time to understand your child’s symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. This helps us create a tailored treatment plan that’s right for them.

Our goal is to not only treat your child’s headaches but also empower you as parents. We’ll equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage your child’s condition long-term, and you’ll have our support every step of the way.
