Paediatric and Adolescent Migraine (Migraine in Children - Part One)

What are the precursors to child and adolescent migraine? Have you heard of the links between infantile colic, cyclical vomiting syndrome, benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, benign torticollis of infancy and abdominal migraine with migraine in children and adolescents?

Today we discuss some of the ways to help identify whether or not a child may be experiencing migraine, and what to do if they are. We discuss traditional and alternative medicine and therapies, how to discuss migraine with your child, and how to best manage migraine in children - from lifestyle choices to supplements. We also talk about school accommodations that keep your child in the classroom as much as possible, and point you in the direction of some fantastic resources and support for families.

And, because it's such a big part of sport and general life, we also discuss the facts about concussion and learn how to recognise a post-traumatic headache. Join us now!
