Any head injury should be observed closely and examined atleast once by a physician. If he is feeling fine and no sense of vomiting or pressure like pain in head, it should be ok. But it will definitely not harm him to go for a proper check and investigations.

hi,

we went to see the doctor yesterday and he said that the skull hasn't been broken or fractured. along with this he took a blood pressure reading and this was fine, at a normal level. he just said to look out for the symptoms of a severe injury for the next couple of days or so in case i.e vomiting etc.

however i forgot to ask him how long would it take for internal bleeding to the head to take effect on a person if they had it (max time). i'm just probably overly cautious as he is my younger brother and seeing its been over a week now he should be pretty much fine.

thanks for all your help, very much appreciated!
