migraine relief in Redwood City

As a parent, it is always challenging to see your child hurting. But sometimes, it is inevitable, especially if a child has genetic health problems such as migraines. If you are looking for migraine relief in Redwood City for your little tot, we have the perfect guide. Hopefully, by sharing everything you need to know about juvenile migraines, you can help your child cope better during an attack.

 

What are Migraines?

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by severe headaches, sensory sensitivities, and nausea. While it commonly affects older people, sometimes it can also occur in children aged 5 to 15. 

To find the best and most appropriate source of migraine relief in Redwood City, you will need to look into the symptoms. The more detailed your observations are, the better you can help a child cope during an episode. Here are some signs you should look out for: 

  • Headaches that usually last from 4 hours to 3 days
  • Moderate to severe pain, which may be worse on one side of your head or switch back and forth between sides
  • One-sided pain (if it switches back and forth between sides, it's called a "migraine with aura.")
  • Pain that gets worse when moving around or performing routine physical activities such as walking upstairs

 

Statistics and Facts on Juvenile Migraines

So, how common is a migraine in children? Migraine is the third most common disease globally, affecting around 1 billion people globally. More than 10 percent of school-aged children also suffer from migraine. Migraine tends to run in families. If a parent has a migraine, the children have around a 50 percent probability of experiencing the same problem. Migraine is also more common among girls than boys. 

Studies explain that juvenile migraine attacks can stem from various factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, hormonal changes, lack of quality sleep, sensory sensitivity, food sensitivities, and weather changes. So, doctors advise patients to be extra wary of such factors and triggers. It might also help to seek upper cervical care – one of the leading sources of migraine relief in Redwood City for all age groups.
