Pediatric Neurological Surgeon Questions Chronic headaches

Are my son's headaches the sign of a brain tumor?

My son's 12 years old, and he has a headache almost everyday. We took him to the doctor, and he was prescribed Maxalt. But he still deals with them. Could this mean that there is something wrong neurologically?

Headaches are a Neurologic condition with many different causes. If your doctor’s treatment isn’t working I would ask for a referral to a neurologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
