We've had a reprieve from headaches for several months, and then this week a few have hit in a row. I suppose it is possible that it is a single headache that is just flaring up every now and then throughout the week. But one or several, I am trying to teach my daughter how to deal with it. She doesn't speak of it until it is so bad that she's crying, which is usually at bedtime, when all activity has ceased. I keep telling her I can't help her unless she tells me early on.
Here are a few things that we repeat over and over to her:
* Drink a big glass of water.
* Use the peppermint oil roller on your forehead and back of your neck.
* Don't accept sugar/candy/treats, at this time.
* Drink another big glass of water.
* Find a quiet and/or dark room to take a little rest.
Our last resort is Tylenol.
What are some of your tips??
