If your teen constantly complains of headaches, it may be more than an excuse to skip school. The onset of migraines can coincide with the start of puberty, and a study reveals that they affect more than 2 million kids in the U.S. “We hope that if we treat adolescents, then these kids won’t have more frequent headaches when they’re adults,’ says Paul winner, D.O., director of the Palm Beach Headache Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. If your teen doesn’t get relief from pain within two hours of taking an over-the-counter medicine, make an appointment with his doctor or a headache specialist (find one at achenet.org). – Bethany Gumper
