Welcome to hcm,
Short answer Drowsiness after a head injury has to be admitted immediately and investigated.
Detailed answer the cold periphery after head injury is due to the shock. After this shock body will tend to save the vital organs and all the blood will go only to the major organs and not the periphies. That is reason behind cold periphery. Following investigations must be done to her if she is drowsy.
1 ct brain
2 blood sugar urea creatinine.
3HB tc DC ESR
4.Blood pressure heat rate has to be monitored.
Review with these investigations
Hope this finds helpful
With regards
