Headaches/trauma

[Oishii]

I hit my head two and half weeks agai and have been suffering from headaches every day since
they have started to get more severe in timescale.
I went DR and they prescribed cocodymol
temp and bp were normal.
i have started feeling nauseous
DR said that if I continue with headaches for another two weeks to come back for a scan
Is this a long time? It feels like a long time?
what is the advice? I feel like i am not being taken seriously - should I push for a second opinion?

Hi,
How are you? I agree with selma that you should inform your doctor that you feel medicine side effects. A change of medications may be indicated. It is common to experience headaches after a head trauma. However, if the headaches persist and they increase in severity, you need to have this checked and not wait for 2 weeks. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi...the meds ur dr is giving u r very strong...codine is an opiate, and feeling nauseated in not uncommon for this med .  paracetamol is the other med in this combo med.....it is a cancer and pain med.....

Inform ur dr netime u have a reaction to meds .

Some head injuries take time b4 nething is seen on a scan, so unless ur symptoms change, this should be ok. But do push for one even if u feel better.
