Suggest Treatment For Headache And Dizziness After Head Injury

I hit the back of my head on a pillar about 10 days ago and I had a headache for a few hours afterwards but then it was fine. However today the back of my head has started to hurt and I ve had a headache most of the day. I keep going dizzy and feel really tired. Do I need to go and get it checked?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely get your self checked.
You are had head injury. And now you are having headache, dizziness after 10 days of injury. This is seen in concussion type of brain injury.
So better to consult neurologist and get done clinical examination and CT scan of Brain to rule out internal brain injury.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for major brain injury.
Take simple painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out internal brain injury.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
