Brief Answer:
Rest, Tylenol and Icing are good enough!No aggressive measures or ER visit!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this head trauma. I have reviewed the information fully and there is no red flag at this time. Pain medication, rest and icing would be al that is required. I am sure you are afraid of a possible brain injury but a review of your symptoms simply doesn’t suggest that. Be calm and rest and nurse no fears at this time unless something else comes up. There is no need for further medical attention.
Symptoms to watch out for are severe headaches, blur vision and excessive sleepiness. If any of these come up, please report to me for review and more insights. Otherwise, mod persons will recover spontaneously and do not need aggressive medical interventions.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
