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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
