Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache After A Head Injury
My son was in a car accident approximately three years ago he has never had a follow-up from his head injury where he was unconscious and in surgery for 7 1/2 hours to piece his front skull back together. He complains about headaches often and has no control over his impulses to do things how and where do I take him to have him assessed to see if he has any problems stemming from this head injury ? He has been back to his regular physician complaining about headaches several times other than a CAT scan nothing else has ever been done . Any advice would be helpful thank you
