[|Human|] My son is 8 and doesn t normally suffer from headaches. he woke about 10pm (Australian time) with a blinding headache at the back of his head, he was thrashing about and acting like a 2yr old throwing a tantrum. he goes in and out of sleep but keeps wimpering and clutching his head when he rouses. Can anyone please give me some advise. thank you. Tonya
[|AI|]  Hi, I guess there are no other symptoms like fever / vomiting / visual disturbance. Acute onset headache, that too severe and awakening from sleep is something to be evaluated in detail. After examining him including blood pressure and a detailed neurological examination, we may need a brain imaging. Kindly take him to doctor. Meanwhile, you can give paracetamol/ibuprofen for temporary pain relief. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
