Migraines in children

By Metro Creative

No one is immune to migraine headaches, including children. According to the American Migraine Foundation, approximately 10% of children experience migraines. Children may be more likely to experience migraines if a parent or both parents get them.

The AMF notes that children with one parent who suffers from migraines have a 50% chance of getting them as well, and that increases to 75% among children who have two parents that experience migraines.

Children may even exhibit signs of migraines as early as infancy, as the AMF reports that colic in infants is a potential early indicator of migraines in youngsters.
