[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 205023, member: 3419"] So sorry, Susie. Poor thing. I hope the shot helps. FWIW, a few yrs ago, I went to a dr who was clueless about my headaches. She wanted to do an MRI brain scan on me to see if I had a brain tumor. Say what? I've had various headaches all my life. But she insisted on an MRI and on a CT scan. She was dead wrong. No brain tumor. (I thought the whole thing was a waste of time ... if it had been a tumor, I would have died from shock.) But the images did help. I took them to a specialist, who in less than 1 sec. flat, diagnosis'd a long-term, serious sinus infection. It was so obvious, even I could see it on the lightbox. You can't always tell by just palpating the eye and nose area. I took some antibiotics and Claritin and about 80% of my headaches went away. It doesn't sound like your pediatrician will want any imaging, since he seems convinced it's not sinus, so if you want to pursue that avenue, you may want to talk to the allergist. [/QUOTE]
