Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Side Of The Head
Last Sunday i hit my head on a low branch while walking in the woods. On Wednesday i started to experience pain in the left side of my head. The level of pain fluctuates but has been persistent since. I am able to function alright. Will the pain subside on it s own?

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
