Pediatric Headache & Migraine
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.”

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
