Pain In Back Of Head After Accident. Anything To Worry?
I recently was in a car accident where the other car t-boned my car. I had terrible pain in the back of my head just after the accident and it mostly went away and hour after the accident. Should I still be concerned of bruising in my brain? I'm drinking lots of water thinking it will help. What do you suggest I do as far as care to my body right now besides rest?

Welcome to HCM.
There might be some blunt injury on the back of the head and also occurs due to concussion of brain.
Take simple nsaid to subside the headache.
Otherwise be watchful for development of other symptoms like vomiting,bleeding from nose,ears.
You can confirm the proper diagnosis by ct-scan and even by mri brain.
Rest is definitely important.
Consult your family physician for further guidance and medical management.
