Question
My child is currently experiencing intermittent headaches, fever, and eye pain. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
The treatment for neuralgic headaches includes proactive prevention and treatment of primary diseases, symptomatic pain relief during attacks, preventive medication during intermissions, and craniotomy for severe conditions. Medications can include gamma-linolenic acid, propranolol, salicylate, and benzotropine, among others. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as Radix Puerariae tablets and Chuanxiong Injection can also be considered. For patients with long-standing, frequent attacks that do not respond to medication, surgical treatment may be considered.
