Suggest Medication For Pain In Tailbone And Dizziness

My adult daughter fell off a swing when she was playing with her nephews. She fell hard on her tailbone. When she finally was able to stand, she became dizzy and started seeing spots in her left eye. This was almost an hour ago and the spots and dizziness remain. Are these related? Is this serious?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Immediately show to a orthopedician. If not available then get X ray of lower spine for ruling out fracture.Till X ray is done give your daughter paracetamol tablet thrice a day after meals and immediately do some iced ater fomentation-this can be done by sitting in a tumbler of cold water if injury is 6 hours or less from now .if more time has elapsed then make her sit in hot water (tolerable) for 15 minutes to relax her bottommake her sit on soft cushion placed underneath the buttock area.
