2 Year Old Has Headaches Alot

If you're not getting the communication that you want from your doctor, change as soon as possible.
If you think this is cause for concern, then have it checked out until you are satisified. This is your child after all and who cares if you are going overboard, it's better to do too much than not enough.
btw, I have 4 children, and I'm not the kind of mother that rushes off with bumps and bruises, but a lump to the head....very very different. And when you add headaches (which I'm impressed that your 2 year old can communicate that to you) you need to make sure you're satisfied with her treatment.

I say to go to another doctor--doctors are not alway right and they should of sent you for a MRI or CT SCAN to make sure she is ok--the head/brain is not something to take lightly. Don't feel bad for not trusting you ped.--you have to do what is right for your daughter. I don't know where you live but I have a great DR. in Arlington I can refer you to. Just send me a message and I will give you the info and they usually get you in the same day or the next day so its really nice. I hope all goes well!! Let us know how is goes. C.

No question, take her to another doctor, the emergency room if you have to.

J.,
a 2 year old does not understand the concept of lying. if she has she has a headache there's something up there and you need to address it.

getting a CT scan is not the worse thing that could happen. my kids have had CT scans. so, if i were you I'd go back to the pediatrician and say you are not comfortable not addressing this and that you need her to give you a referral to go to an imaging place and see what's going on. also the ped. needs to order blood work as well, and take it from there
from experience pediatricians not always are on top of things. unfortunately sometimes it's too late to do something about it. considering i have had to call numerous times for one issue and always been right in the end now they do not take my child' word for granted any longer.
here's an example. a few months ago my two year old said my tummy hurts. this was the first time EVER she has complained of pain. i took her to ped. he checked her (ear, nose basically nothing) and said all clear. a day later she develops a fever and still says tummy hurts. i called the ped. and he said probably just a cold, give motrin. i spent that night trying to lower a 104.5 fever and to no avail. took her to ER and turned out she had strep, and was explained that strep can cause problems with kidneys hence the 'tummy ache.'
now your child does not have a fever but is trying to tell you her head hurts. do something about it
good luck

Never be afraid to get a second opinion, or even a third if a healthcare provider is negating what you have to say. Keep in mind, too, that sometimes things that did not show up at a couple of months of age could develop later on. As a mom of four and a nurse, I can vouch for the fact that parental intuition is usually excellent, especially when it involves a child who does not normally have a complaint.

Absolutely you should get a second opinion! I seriously doubt a 2 yr old is going to lie about pain. Trust your instinct and your child. If you need a referral, I would recommend my pediatrician: Dr. Pastore at Pediatric Assiciates near Chippenham Hopsital.

Get a second opinion.
It can't hurt and it will give you piece of mind!

You should ALWAYS get a 2nd opinion in this matter, even if you liked your doctor. Just make sure you have all the facts. If you don't trust your doctor, I would find another one, ask on here if you need a recommendation for your area. If you're near Charlottesville va, go to Piedmont Pediatrics, they're wonderful!! You may still want a 2nd opnion after the new doctor. Also, not to scare you, but things like this that don't really cause problems in adults can be problematic in growing children...GET IT CHECKED!! Good luck!!
