Suggest Remedy For Minor Head Injury
My friend was riding his bike at a high speed and slipped off then hit the back of his head. It happened 40mins ago there was a bump, the size of a Canadian dollar with a little blood. He was talking slow but now the blood is gone due to me giving him ice and he's also speaking like normal. Anything I should do now?
