Suggest Remedies For Red Rashes On The Left Temple Area Of Head
My 56 yr old dad fell of a ladder while fixing our roof. Estimated 3 ft. He has scratches in his hands and elbows. The left temporoparietal of his head according to him feels sore, its a little bit reddish but over all no lacerations whatever. I already cleaned and applied ointment on his scratches and applied cold compress in his head. Is there anything else I should do?

Hi,
Please take him to emergency room asap to rule out any internal bleeds. Pupils have to be checked, any CAT scan to see bleed because of his age.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
