For Babies (Especially Under 1 Year):
Headaches:
Babies generally don't experience headaches in the same way older children or adults do, but they may express discomfort with crying or fussiness. Possible causes: Overstimulation, teething, or mild infections (such as a cold). What to do: Ensure they are comfortable, hydrated, and well-rested. If they seem to be in significant pain or the discomfort persists, consult a pediatrician.
Facial Pain or Discomfort:
Babies may have discomfort or swelling in their faces from conditions like teething, sinus issues, or even blocked tear ducts. Symptoms of teething: Red, swollen gums, drooling, and irritability. If your baby’s face seems unusually swollen or painful, or if they have a fever, it’s worth checking with your pediatrician. When to Seek Medical Help: If your baby has a fever along with facial or headache symptoms. If they seem unusually lethargic or difficult to soothe. If there’s any swelling or redness around their face, eyes, or head.
A pediatrician can provide a proper diagnosis and suggest the right steps based on the baby's age and symptoms. If you're uncertain, it’s always a good idea to reach out for professional advice.
