Good morning! My 2.5 year old son has been complaining about his head hurting for the last few weeks. He has no other symptoms and will say "my head hurts" then go about his usual business of playing. He has not suffered from a fall or any head injury. To be safe, I want to take him to a pediatric neurologist for a scan or MRI. Any recommendations for a doctor?? We live in Anne Arundel County. Thank you in advance!!
Re: Pediatric Neurologist - reccomendation?
I have had migraines since I was 5 years old. When I was first diagnosed the doctor had me keep a diary of food items, activities, etc? and we went from there. We found out that some food items were triggers for me, along with allergies. I did not have my first MRI or scan until I was much older, although that was many years ago and lots have changed. Talk to your ped. If he or she is not recommending a doc to you and you don?t need a referral check the Johns Hopkins Children?s center or the Children?s Hospital at Sinai.
I am so happy to hear the good news. The mold that grows on the dead leaves is my worst allergy; this time of year sucks. Not sure if your doctor suggested this, but my friend does a nasal irrigation on her two-year old who has allergies but beware it takes three of them to do it. Her mil does the actual irrigation while she and her DH hold him and keep him calm. She says it has done wonders with her DS. Good luck
