Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. It is unfortunate that you sustained injury at the same location two times after a gap of three months.

However, there is no need to worry, as the injury seems to be mild and we do not expect any severe internal brain injury.

As of now, you can take analgesics such as ibuprofen or diclofenac to relieve the pain. If pain does not subside even after 3-4 days, you can get a brain CT scan done.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
