Yes, children can also get migraine, although theirs can be different to adults. Children normally report a headache that is more in the forehead or the middle of the head rather than on one side and their migraines are shorter. Sometimes in younger children the predominant symptoms are abdominal pain. For more information about migraine in children, click here.
