Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Its a medical emergency and needs to be properly examined and a CT Scan may also be needed. If she didn't vomit or there was no other sign of neurologic disturbance then it was all ok. But as she vomited, that means she had some moderate to severe injury and CT scan is mandatory in such cases to see any internal bleeding. It is important to avoid any serious and irreversible damage to the brain tissue.


Hope I answered all of your questions. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too.

Regards!
