Should I See A Doctor For Jaw Pain And Headache After Car Accident?
Hi. I hit my head a couple of weeks ago in a car accident. This was on my vaccation in Thailand so i went to a hospital there where they gave me some stiches under my eyebrow - they did not do any other tests. It is now almost 3 weeks ago and I now have a small lump under the scar where the stiches were. I have also had a lot of problems with some sharp pains in my jaw along with a lot of headaches. Should I go see my doctor or should I give it some more time and see if it all heals?

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With a history of head trauma and persistent pain, I think it is necessary to see a doctor for proper assessment. You probably need some investigations like an X-ray and a CT scan to rule out any possible fracture.
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you good health
