Pediatric Headache & Migraine in Kurnool
Recurring headaches in children often have neurological triggers. Expert evaluation rules out serious causes and tailors preventive treatment.
Headache is one of the most common reasons children visit a neurologist. Migraine affects up to 10% of school-age children and can significantly impact school attendance and quality of life. At our Kurnool clinic, Dr. Swetha Rampally evaluates headache type, frequency, and triggers; performs EEG when seizures are suspected; and creates a personalised treatment plan with lifestyle guidance, acute medications, and preventive therapy when needed.

Understanding this condition
Neurological conditions in children affect developmental milestones, learning abilities, and overall physical functions. A clear clinical history, developmental timeline, and specialist physical evaluation are essential steps to avoid diagnostic delay.
Dr. Swetha identifies the underlying cause by looking at both clinical symptoms and diagnostic results, guiding you to therapies that yield the best results for your child's age group.

Common Concerns (FAQ)
Q. Can children really get migraine?
Yes. Migraine is common in children and often runs in families. In young children, migraine may present as recurrent stomach pain or vomiting rather than head pain. It is important to get an expert evaluation rather than dismiss frequent headaches as 'eye strain' or stress.
