Suggest Remedy For Headaches, Dizziness, Hearing Loss With Blistery Ears Post Occipital Injury

Thank you! I have a friend, 53 year old woman who injured her atlas/occipute (sp?) This happened almost 2 weeks ago. Since, she has experienced severe headaches, nausea, dizziness, hearing and sight interruptions and . . . where the headache pain was most severe . . . tiny blisters throughout her hair, side of face, inside/outside of right ear and on the back of her tongue. She seems to be getting a bit better every day, but it has been pretty brutal. What should she do? Again, thank you SO much :-)

Hello,

Headache, dizziness, loss of vision are seen in occipital lobe injury. Blisters on her scalp, face and ears may be due to other pathology like seborrhic dermatitis, psoriasis, head lice, ringworm or shingles. She needs a detailed clinical examination and if necessary some tests like complete blood picture, eat examination, eye examination, MRI brain and spinal cord. Kindly take your friend to a neuro-physician so that he can evaluate the causes and give appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
