[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was complaining that his head hurt really bad and his eyes hurt.  He threw up a couple of times yesterday. When i got him from work yesterday (at 6pm) and found him lying on the living room floor I gave him some junior strength tylenol and took him upstairs and put him in bed where he has been ever since.   It's 14 hours and counting...   He woke up at 3am asking for a glass of water.   He seemed more peppy, asked what we had for dinner and was upset he missed it.  He said his eyes no longer hurt and while his head did still hurt it wasn't as bad.   I woke him at 7:30am and he was determined to go to school, I had to convince him he needed to stay home because he still had a slight headache.  He went back to sleep and is still there.  I"m not sure if he has a fever, just by touch his temples feel a bit warm but I'm not sure if that's fever or if it's because he was all bundled up under his thick blanket.

Does this sound like a migraine?   He does usually get headaches when he's sick but they never last this long and he's never complained of his eyes hurting.    [/quote]

My 10 yr gets migraine, but they never last that long. His are very irregular and usually are triggered by exhaustion/dehydration and they always follow the same pattern: severe headache, nausea, vomiting and sleep. He usually sleeps for 30 min and then he's back to normal. We have tried giving him Tylenol when the headache begins, but it never works.
