Suggest Treatment For Headaches Caused By Hitting
Hello doctor, I was in a fight about 8 days ago. In that fight I was hit very hard in the side of my head multiple times, and since then have been experiencing headaches, ear, throat, and jaw pain. I was wondering if you could shed some light on why it s still hurting so badly.

Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
Unfortunately you need to schedule to understand what has happen
You should at least schedule a head roentgen or much better a brain CT scan
Traume can cause organic brain injury which is shown on CT, like fissures or fractures which can be the cause of your prolonged pain
Pain can be provoked even without fracture so you don't have to worry too much but CT is absolutely needed
Otherwise if CT is normal you can use pain killers for some day and you will be fine
