In general, kids get the same types of headaches as adults. And headaches often are hereditary, so if you or your partner get them, your child may get them too.
Some of the many potential headache triggers include:
certain medications (headaches are a potential side effect of some)
too little sleep or sudden changes in sleep patterns
skipping meals
becoming dehydrated
being under a lot of stress
having a minor head injury
using the computer or watching TV for a long time
menstruation
experiencing changes in hormone levels
taking a long trip in a car or bus
listening to really loud music
smoking
smelling strong odors such as perfume, smoke, fumes, or a new car or carpet
drinking or eating too much caffeine (in soda, coffee, tea, and chocolate)
consuming certain foods (such as alcohol, cheese, pizza, chocolate, ice cream, fatty or fried food, lunchmeats, hot dogs, yogurt, aspartame, or anything with the seasoning MSG)
