Hello,

If these are newer symptoms that you're described compared to 5 days ago then, it might be wise to check in with your doctor to ask them what they think about getting another CT of the head just to be sure something hasn't cropped.

But from you're describing I don't sense that there's anything to worry about at this point.

5 days after a head trauma causing mild TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY is not that much time so I wouldn't worry too much about not feeling all back to normal just yet.

But if you develop serious symptoms such as sudden onset nausea, vomiting, or difficulty staying awake or alert to your surroundings then, I would definitely suggest a visit immediately to an ER.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
