General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If all these symptoms are after the trauma to the head, then I would advise getting a CT scan of the brain done.

Once this is normal, then you can use some paracetamol for your pain. However, I usually ask such a patient to get a scan of the brain done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
