Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for getting back.
I have noted that your wife now has headaches and dizziness. These symptoms are known to occur after head injury, and are referred to as post-traumatic headache and vertigo.
She can be started on medications such as Sibelium (Flunarizine) to prevent the recurrent headaches. To relieve the headache, Naprosyn (Naproxen) may be used, as and when she has severe headache.
For treating giddiness, Vertin (betahistine) may be used.
These symptoms usually subside in 4-6 weeks.
