Toddler with migraines - possible?


Recommended Posts

Moderate to severe migraines run in my family.

Twice in last few days, my 2yo girl has complained that "the house is moving" or "the table is swimming". A bit later, she complains of a headache (quite unusual in toddler, no?) Then she kind of collapses asleep, but wakes up to vomit. Not huge amounts and not offensive, I've got a tummy bug puke. But small amounts of clear goo.

She's been through this cycle twice now. She doesn't have a temperature. She hasn't fallen/banged her head. And no rash or anything else that's scary.

I have to say this is just what happens to me with a mild migraine. The only thing that is stopping me thinking that is what it is, is that she's two. Do kids this young get them?

Hi workingmummy. I work on a neurology ward and we deal a lot with children with migraines and yes, it is possible for them to have them at that age, particularly if there is a strong family history of that. It isn't very common so it may be best to go and get it checked out although I'm sure your instincts are probably correct.

    • Another great encounter with Aria. A leaking toilet was fixed quickly and cleanly and for a reasonable price. Aria’s always going to be our first call for plumbing work, and he knows a lot of good local people for their types of jobs.
