The frequency and severity of headaches when the start and end and the other symptoms along with the headaches.In the case where the pain was felt, what it felt like (throbbing or dull, etc) and changes in these headaches in time.Any recent injuries, possible to identify headache triggers, current or previous issues of medical drugs.Your child's eating and sleeping habits.Your child's allergies and any family history of headaches.Medicines, or activity that appears to be through the headaches go away.--Diana Kohnle
