ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello
Nothing to worry if there is no history of unconsciousness, vomitting, convulsions or severe headache following injury. After head injury a 24 hrs observation is required to watch for same symptoms to develop. Since 5 days have passed uneventfully there is no point worrying. You can try tab diclofenac and serratiopeptidase bd for 3 days.
