Should I Be Concerned About Nose Bleed, Headache And Head Congestion Inspite Of Having A Head Injury?
I slipped and fell on ice today and hit my elbow and back of my head. Later today I experienced a nose bleed, headache and then started to have head congestion, like when you have a bad head cold. Other than that I feel fine do I need to go to the ER or go to my doctor in the morning?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done CT scan brain to rule out internal brain injury. You are having head injury. You developed nose bleeding, headache, head congestion after few hours of injury. All these symptoms are characteristic of internal brain injury (hemorrhage). So don't wait at home. Consult emergency room and get done clinical examination and CT scan of brain to rule out internal brain heamorrhage. Hope I have solved your query.
