Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. The CT scan report would be useful in identifying any internal bleeding or skull fracture.

As of now, you can take symptomatic treatment- diclofenac tablets for headache and betahistine tablets for dizziness.

Amnesia (loss of memory) may occur after head injury. There is no need to worry about that.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
