Terrible HA: The description you make is most likely that of a migraine.But, if your son has never had a ha like this before and it is not relieved within a few hours with non-rx pain meds; see your doc asap. Other concerns- any change in vision, sleepiness, history of trauma-like playing baseball, vomiting, fever, neck stiffness.These are just a few other potential complications--some v.Serious.

Migraine: Sounds like your son is suffering from migraine headache.Usually Motrin 800 mg every 8 hours may help mild attacks.At times they are so severe, pain cannot be aborted.He will need to see his doctor and referred to neurologist for further management.

Recent Onset!: If this is a brand new symptom i would consider this an emergency and see a doctor asap. From your description, it sounds like a cluster headache but without some history, i would consdier this a first/worst headache and thus a medical emergency requiring immediate evaluation.
