Yes, Migraine is a genetic, neurologic disease that can affect males and females of all ages, including infancy. The symptoms of Migraine in a child may be different than an adult's symptoms, however Migraine can be just as devastating to a young child as it is to an adult. Migraine may progress and chronify in small children as well, so quick, appropriate treatment is warranted to keep them healthy throughout their lives.

For best results in diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.

Yes, they can. It was once thought that children didn't get migraines, but this simply isn't the case. According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 2% of children will be affected by migraines by the age of 7, and approximately 7-10% of children and adolescents will be affected by age 15.

I also know this is true because I have had migraines since at least age 10.
