Buzzing In Ear, Feel Dizzy, Light Headed After A Fall From Stairs. What Could Be The Problem ?
My friend is 15 years old. She fell down the stairs last night went the hospital and then discharged. She has told me now that she has been sick with blood , has a buzzing in her ear and feels dizzy and light headed. I have told her to go back the hospital but she said cause as she was there yesterday. What could be the problem and should she go back or just try to sleep?

Hi
Your friend MUST go back to the hospital and see her doctor. Eating breakfast does not exclude the need for lunch! - we eat again, if hungry!!
The fact that she has symptoms, is an absolute indication to see the doctor.- - more so because of the fall. Some symptoms appear only after a few hours - for example, bleeding inside. She needs examination - may be a CT scan also. This is not to frighten you - to consult is wiser and a must rather than wait and watch..
Take care
Good luck
