| Why does one person experience headaches and sore throats whereas another has migraines and tonsillitis? |
| This tends to be based on a named pathology, such as feverfew for migraines, St John's Wort for depression, devil's claw for arthritis. |
| Opioid analgesics such as meperidine and butorphanol are sometimes required to abort severe migraines. |
| Common migraines may start more slowly than classic migraines and last longer. |
| Your doctor can diagnose migraines on the basis of the symptoms your child describes. |
| Non-narcotic analgesics can be used for mild to moderate migraines that are not associated with nausea and vomiting. |
