Overview

Baby migraine is a rare condition that affects children before their second birthday. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of intense, throbbing headache, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. In some cases, there may also be vision disturbances such as blurred vision, seeing spots or flashing lights. The cause of baby migraine is unknown, but it is believed to be related to changes in the neurotransmitter balance in the brain. Treatment of baby migraine typically includes lifestyle modifications such as avoiding triggers, as well as medications such as ibuprofen, to reduce pain and inflammation. Early diagnosis and treatment of baby migraine is important in order to prevent recurrent episodes and to reduce the risk of complications.
