Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Any head injury with a bump / abrasion associated with increasing headache, memory lapses, nausea / vomiting, etc., needs a neurosurgical consultation at the earliest. A computed tomography (CT) of brain is needed to rule out intracranial injuries such as concussion, bleeding, etc.

I suggest that your husband visits emergency room for neurological evaluation and scans.

Any patient with head injury has to be closely observed for unconsciousness, giddiness, etc. They need to avoid driving and other physical activities for a few weeks till complete recovery.

Continue with analgesics, antiemetics and bed rest as of now and plan to visit the ER.

Hope this answers your query.
I wish your husband recovers speedily. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Take care and Regards
Dr. Praveen k XXXXXXX XXXXXXX consultant neurosurgeon
