Hi, simply follow as your doctor instructs you.As the symptoms are vague the doctor suspected the head injury and to exclude it asked for the C.T.scan. In case it is negative we can expect the sinusitis, or an infection in the scalp.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe ofloxacin, anti inflamatories, and ranitidine . Thank you.
