Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache And Dizziness

I fell out of the back of a jeep today and landed on the middle of the back of my head. I don t really have a headache but I felt dizzy after and the place I got hit hurts a lot. It also hurts to open my mouth or chew. Could I have a concussion? The car wasn t moving it just jolted and I fell out

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You got injury to back of head following sudden fall and now have heaviness in head and dizziness. It is common to have some headache after trauma to head. But associated dizziness should not be ignored. If the dizziness is persisting and you also develop any discharge from nose or ears, vomiting then report to an ER immediately. Some times even minor trauma may result in headache. You are having pain during chewing also so I'd advise you to visit a doctor to get yourself examined. CT scan of head would rule out any trauma or concussion to brain and you can relax yourself then. Drugs like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac can be used for headache and Betahistine can be used for dizziness. Please visit a doctor for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
