[NPInfo] Posing a question

[Kimberly Coleman]

Hello,  I have just recently subscribed to this receive these emails, and I would like to ask all of you out there a question.  I have a 9yr. old nephew and he was never sick when he lived with us; however, he is back with his mom and he seems to have one ailment after another. (it was this way when he was with her prior to this also).  Anyway, his latest is:  He has severe migraines.  The doctors told the mom there aren't any migraine meds approved for his age.  So he is taking excedrine and a benadryl.  In actuality, how common is it for a 9yr. old to be diagnoses with migraines and what is the standard treatment for them?   Thanks, Kim
