Question: 11-yr-old with pain in back of head, other symptoms, especially after sports...

Answer:

Dear Parent;

There are a number of things that could be causing your son's head pain. It could be a form of exertional headache, Migraine, or something else. Nobody can tell you via the Internet. Your best course of action is to take him to the doctor for diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
