Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern and would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to the soft tissues inflammation (muscles, fat tissue) and subcunateous hematoma related to the trauma. I recommend total rest at bed for a week and avoid straining physical activity. You should avoid a possible repeated trauma during this period. Painkillers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce the pain. If her headache doesn t improve in the next days, or even worsen (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion), I recommend bringing her to the ER for a brain CT scan to exclude a possible intracranial hemorrhage. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
