Headache in children

Someone added "in adults" to the infobox.[1] I don't think that is a good idea, but this article would benefit from a specific section covering headaches in children. JFW | T@lk 13:16, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Caffeine

Like sinusitis, was, it’s odd that there’s no mention of caffeine as a cause or cure of headache. Even though it’s both. Several articles do connect them but not this one! Stator Equilibrium (talk) 19:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sensitivity to sound

Under Causes - > Primary, written is "phonophobia (sensitivity to sound)[13]", I think this is incorrect (this is a phobia). I think the correct term for sensitivity to sound is "Hyperacusis". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.20.69.146 (talk) 00:57, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shared picture.

This has the same picture as Migraine.

Bonus fact: I am having a light headache right now.

Adding information on headaches in animals

I would like for there to be a section about headaches found in animals. We aren't the only ones that experience headaches. It has been proven that other animals do so too, with a lot of evidence that dogs are one of the animals that can have headaches like us.

Here's some proof:
