According to Dr Fong, headaches are common among children and the number of children having headaches increases with increasing age. A non-pharmacological approach is the first-line treatment strategy for headache, includes: 1. identifying headache patterns by using a headache diary and minimising possible precipitating factors to the headache. 2. teaching the child and family lifelong strategies in managing headaches, including relaxation, a health and balanced diet, good sleep hygiene and behaviour modification.
