Want for CT scan, only showed posible concussion. It's now 6 days later, my eyelid is still drooping over my eye and immense headache. Maybe Im silly, but is it all part of the heraling process?

HI , you had severe headache with third nerve palsy after head injury.
Usually it is uncommon but not serious.
The prognosis of traumatic oculomotor palsy is poor and full recovery is uncommon.
You are advised to consult neurosurgeon and to start steroids and occlusion therapy.
Thanks
