Headache for 2 years needs evaluation. Consult a pain specialist for treatment and diagnosis.
Headache at young age can be due to 1. Tension headache : Pain is band like constriction at forehead. Simple analgesics like paracetamol will help.
2. Migraine : episodes of headache, ge?nerally one one sided and with nausea or vomiting, photophobia. Migraine treatment requires lifestyle modifications and painkillers.
3. Headache can be due to refractive error (vision defect ). Simple vision check and wearing spectacles accordingly can help.
4. Sinusitis: Headache with nasal discharge, fever and throat pain. Consult an ENT specialist in such cases.
Other causes of headache can be cluster headache, tumour, meningitis, cervical spine diseases, and many more.
For relief you can take simple analgesics like paracetamol. Consult a doctor if headache worsens or persists or develop neurological problems like seizures, loss of consciousness or weakness. For further queries consult again.
