Juvenile migraine: Migraine is a common disorder in children. When evaluating a patient's any migraine , it is imperative that the clinician first identify and exclude a secondary headache. Migraine is a serious and complex neurologic disorder. If your child's symptoms are especially severe and persistent, you should see a pediatric neurologist or headache specialist for testing and treatment. Good luck.
