Why Having Tenderness, Bad Headache And Blurred Vision After Hitting Hard On Head?
My 14 year old son is a wrestler. this is his first year. On this past Friday, during a match, he was dropped directly on his left, top side of the head. He has had tenderness in the area. Mild to severe headaches since then. This morning when he woke up, he had blurred vision and bad headache...Should he be seen?

Hello,
Thanks for your query. I am happy to help you here.
your son needs immediate medical attention. Without delay kindly take him to a neurosurgeon. Get the head CT done. Such headaches can also be seen in some cases of temporal arteritis, which can be a threat to vission if not managed on time.
So kindly take this matter seriously and take him to a neurosurgeon as soon as possible.
Hope you are satisfied with my talk.
Thank you
