Can Children get Migraines?
Absolutely. Migraine should be suspected when children (of any age) go through bouts of crying and crankiness, possibly with vomiting or diarrhea, that happen repeatedly, last for several hours, then falls asleep and is fine upon awakening. Be especially suspicious if one or both parents or other siblings or close relatives also experience migraine. Typically these children will have been to many specialists looking for stomach and other problems before anyone thinks to consider migraine.
