What Causes Headache And Stomach Pain After Hitting The Head?
My question is about a 12 year old male. He was accidentally hit in the head with a metal object (air soft pistol). It made about a 2 cm cut above the left eye brow, with minimal bleeding. I cleaned and placed a steri-strip over the area. There was slight swelling to the area and complaints of headache and stomach pain . Pupils were equal and reactant to light. Should medical assistance be sought at
Depth of the wound not mentioned, anyhow 2 cm sized wound needs to be sutured. If the headache is severe and is associated with vomiting then CT Scan brain needs to be done.
He needs adequate bed rest for 2 to 3 weeks and NO any strenuous work that stresses him mentally. He will be alright soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
