[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187052, member: 1233"] Ask the pediatrician if he can take a beta blocker (like propranolol) or other migraine PREVENTATIVE. Also ask for a trial of imitrex, maxalt, zomig or relpax if he will write a scrip for one. Another option is ergotamine containing medications used to treat migraines. These might also help you if you haven't tried them. Usually the ergotamine medications are used in people who don't get relief from the triptans. I only mentioned the timing of the advil and the toradol because around here the ER docs don't ever tell you how long to wait after you leave to take another medication that they suggest. I DID have them tell me to take a large dose of aleve right after a dose of toradol. It was while I was a teen and I can remember how upset my mom was when we let the doctor know because it was such a no-no. I hope you and the doctor can finally find something that helps with his headaches. This truly is not something a kid should keep having to go through! [/QUOTE]
