[quote=Anonymous]Mom of migraine son here ... there are a lot of things (diet, atmospheric pressure, dehydration, fatigue) that trigger migraines and if he is vomiting at the onset then an oral med will do no good. There are nasal sprays that are approved for pediatric use and I highly recommend them if this becomes a pattern. Also a low dose beta blocker helps relieve the full body pressure the same way that the vomiting does at the onset. My son's migraines were worse in spring and fall when there are great changes in the atmospheric pressure. At this age though, the hormones are kicking in and that really ups the ante with respect to migraines. Sorry but you may have a few years of this until he gets completely through puberty. I would definately recommend a pediatric neurologist over a pediatrician. I love our pediatrician but he knew virtually nothing about migraines and gave us an rx for something not approved for pediatric use.  Dr Beth Latimer is really good ped neurologist. [/quote]
