i hit my head on a metal bar in a horse trailer wednesday morning. i have had a head ache ever since. my head hurts to touch from top right side to my neck. Friday, my head hurt so bad it was like a migraine went to sleep with a towel over my eyes. my headache has gotten somewhat better but still hurts and my eyes still hurt and i have a quest stomach. if i go to the doctor can they help me after 5 days?
I read your question carefully and appreciate your concern!
O think that it is normal to feel headache after a head concussion. It can last even for months after the trauma. The fact that you are improving is a good sign.
I would advise you to have some rest and avoid straining physical activity or a second head trauma.
For the pain I would recommend painkillers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for some days.
If the situation gets worse or you feel confused or any other symptoms, I would recommend you to go to the ER and have a brain CT scan to exclude a possible intracranial hemorrhage. They can help you any time you need.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings! Dr. Aida
