What Causes Painful Head, Tiredness And Photosensitivity Post Head Injury?
I hit my head on a low lying ceiling fan about an hour ago and ive put ice on it and took 2 advil. My head is killing me, im really tired, and I have a slight sensitivity to light. I checked my pupils and eyes and it all seems well but I still have those symptoms. As well as this, I have a giant bump where I hit my head. What is wrong?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be best to be assessed by your doctor if you are having a severe headache.
The criteria for CT imaging after head injury are: (1)headache
(2)vomiting
(3)age greater than 60
(4)seizures
(5)memory loss
(6)drug or alcohol intoxication
(7)visible injury above the shoulder
I hope this helps
