Book Description
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 nondrug therapies 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.
