Suggest Treatment For Head Injury

I was skiing today with my daughter. She fell and while helping her, a snowboarder hit me in the head with his snowboard and dragged me a bit. He literally fell on my head with his snowboard. Luckily, I was wearing a helmet but my head has been heavy ever since and I'm afraid to fall asleep. I usually sleep without pillow but I'm debating whether I should sleep tonight with one. Also, should i go get CAT scan tomorrow instead of going to work? I am wondering...

Hello and welcome.
The accident was unfortunate.
You seem to be having minor concussion,it does not exactly warrant a CT scan. Its advisable to wait for 4-5 days. Meanwhile you may consider taking mild pain killer and hot water bag. Avoid mental stress, alcohol, smoking. Take rest and try to sleep well. Eat a soft non spicy diet with plenty of fruits. Keep a watch for any new symptom.

You should recover soon with above precautions in a week.

Hope i solved the query.

Thank You so much.

Take care , wish you speedy recovery
