Reassuring and authoritative, Dr. Sarah Cheyette, a pediatric neurologist and mother of two young children, helps parents navigate the sometimes frightening world of a child's headache pain, and offers advice on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and how to deal with doctors. In a clear, lively, easy-to-understand style, Dr. Cheyette answers parents' most pressing questions: How can I identify and treat pain in my baby? My toddler? My teen? What are the possible causes of my child's headache? What medications and nondrugtherapies are available for my child's pain? How can I prepare my child for a doctor's visit? What questions should my doctor ask to ensure an accurate diagnosis of my child's headache? What are our options if we've already seen a doctor...and the headache still isn't going away? Filled with case studies drawn from her own practice, resources, diagrams, and a valuable sample headache diary, Mommy, My Head Hurts belongs on every parenting bookshelf.

A Helpful Book For a Frustrated Mother
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is probably the most easy to understand books I have read on childhood headaches. It is an easy read and makes a complicated topic simple to understand. I would highly recommend this book to mom's out there who think there's a little more to their child's headaches. By the time you're done reading you will have a good background to talk with your child's pediatrician. I have also used "The Headache Detective" workbook as a diary to track both my girls' headaches. The Headache Detective; by John Ricker has helped us more than any other book in really finding the foods my daughters were eating that were triggering there headaches. It cost a little more than other books but not needing to put together my own diary was well worth the money.
