What Causes Severe Headache And Dark Circles Under Eyes After Head Injury?
My son fell and hit the back of his head last night. He fell so hard it left the imprint of his head in the ground. It took him a few minutes to get back up but he did act like he was before. He is alert and oriented.pupils are reactive. His biggest complaint is bad headache and now he has black circles under his eyes. Do I need to have him looked at

Hi,
Yes, since he has complaints related to head injury, has loss of consciousness and headache, it is better to get a head CT scan done and rule out any bleed, concussion or fracture. It is better to be sure he is all fine, if he continues to complain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
