Migraine in children, is it normal?

Is it normal for a child to get migraine headaches. I mean is it common?

My son gets migraines. He's had them for awhile, he's 15 now. The pediatrician said that sometimes, after puberty, the migraines will go away in boys. But since they run in my family - just about everyone gets them-he's probably just going to keep getting them. 50/50 chance.

Check with the pediatrician. Document what the child eats, how much sleep they had beforehand, what activities seem to trigger them. With my son it's car rides, tiredness, if he eats alot of junk food. But they're definitely migraines because Imitrex makes them go away.

The doctor says it's pretty common especially if there is a family history. But if the child is very young, make sure they rule out other stuff first.

It's not usual unless you have it in the famly.... But otherwise basicallly everyone has a 50/50 percent chance of getting them...... Goodluck:)
