Suggest Remedies For Pain In Parietal Area And Dizziness After A Fall

I fell down some cement stairs holding my two year old. I lost my balance 5 steps up and fell back and hit right parietal area. Now I still have a large painful and spongy area left and some numbness surrounding the area. It still throbs and the pain with palpation is around 8/10. I fell really hard but have no residual symptoms like a concusion. I did feel dizzy yesterday and sometimes get a headache but don t think related. Should I see a physician? Went to ER right after and he didn t even look at it nor do xray or mri?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you had a fall I will request you to take an MRI as it is of utmost Importance when certain signs and symptoms are traced at the earliest.

certain times after a fall there will be small soft tissue Injury in the brain tissue leading to bleeding and may even not sure of giving any external signs of skin discoloration.

as you have dizziness it will be surely need an attention and some anti inflammatory drugs to make the inflammation down.

Also , performing some simple breathing exercises should help the healing process to optimum
