Head Injury, Upset Stomach, Headache. Taking Tylenol, Advil. Treatment?
My husband head butted me in the left temple yesterday morning, and I felt slightly upset in my stomach but I could still eat. I have had a bad head ache since and I have been rotating tylonol and advil but it isn t working. My left eye felt a bit strange yesterday but seems ok today. Should I be concerned? I don t have insurance so if I don t need medical attention I don t want to go in. Thanks!
You seem to have suffered from mild concussion, as a result of the mild head injury. Symptoms often include headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Generally, there is no need to worry and symptoms would subside in a day or two.
In case, you do not get better after 2-3 days, you need to see a doctor and may be get a CT scan of brain done. Otherwise , you could manage with tylenol (for pain relief) and betahistine (Vertin) for dizziness.
