Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Most of individuals after even minor head injury develop headache as complication. In most cases the headache usually last for about 1-2 weeks. If he developed bleeding from nose or ear or developed unconsciousness after injury then there is urgent need for CT scan otherwise there is no need to worry. Any skull bone injury can be ruled out easily by X ray skull. You can consult any good doctor for that.

For his headache medicines like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac can help. Ask him to take plenty of fluids and avoid straining excessively for few days. Visit a doctor for prescription of the drugs.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
