My husband bumped his head on the metal ductwork in the basement on the top right side,this afternoon about three hours ago and says he s seeing double on the TV when he takes his glasses off. Slight headache; not naseaous, talking fine. Can we wait at home and see if there are other symptoms, or should we see a doctor right away?

What Causes Headache After A Head Injury?
Hi, As per my surgical experience, headache is a common sequence of any head injury and takes around 24-48 hours to settle with analgesic and rest. As you have narrated double vision without glasses which I think is normal physiology when the number for distant vision is more than 3 or so. Kindly maintain his hydration with plenty of liquids and observe any abnormal symptoms, if showing up then rush to ER otherwise not. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
