 Synopsis Reviews  Introduction Table of Contents  Sarah Cheyette, M.D. |
It's time to bundle your child off to school, but he's in bed again ... with another headache. What's a parent to do? Synopsis From a sympathetic and caring pediatric neurologist—the first and only book written by a practicing physician for the parents of children with headaches to help them deal with their child's pain, and improve the quality of life for their entire family.
Clearly, many parents can benefit from a guide to help them understand their child's headache: what might be causing it, how to treat it, and how to keep it from controlling their child's life as well as their own. As no such book by a doctor was available, Dr. Cheyette was urged by her patients to provide something for their home reference, which led to her writing this easy-to-understand guide, which is laced throughout with summary boxes, anecdotes and diagrams. In seven chapters, Dr. Cheyette offers practical advice on all kinds of headaches and how to treat them, with and without medication, traditional and homeopathic and non-traditional; how to deal with doctors and what questions to ask them, and she discusses how a child develops the concept of pain and how they express it. Dr. Cheyette's book is a must for all families and caregivers. Reviews "Dr. Cheyette has given parents a wonderfully clear, complete, current text on headaches and their treatment. This information will give all parents the chance to go through the same routine that their child's doctor uses in coming to a diagnosis and course of therapy for their child. The book gives clear insight on when they will need to consult with their child's physician and will allow them to ask more insightful questions of their doctor...I sincerely recommend this book by Dr. Cheyette to all parents of children with headaches (as she points out -- almost all parents) and to their physicians as well."
