Getting Headache After Head Injury. Easy Way To Get Cure?
Question: I fell and hit my head in the tub tonight. I have a headache now and a tightening as well.
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure that your symptoms do not suggest any serious underlying brain injury.
It seems to be a mild head injury.
You can take ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain relief.
Please watch for the following warning symptoms:
Severe headache, repeated vomiting, double vision, decreased alertness, fits. If you develop any of these, you should go to ER and get a brain CT scan done.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
