Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? The most common type of traumatic head injury is concussion, wherein the brain is shaken. Symptoms to watch out for and warrants immediate medical attention include confusion, drowsiness, lethargy, unequal size of pupils, severe headache and loss of consciousness. Initially, cold compress and pain medications help.For a mild head injury, no specific treatment may be needed. However, a close watch for the first 24 hours is important. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evalaution. Take care and do keep us posted.
