Suggest Treatment For Head Injury

Grandmother fell out of bed and bumped her head on night stand. She has a little bruising and she's been sleeping a lot . I'm not sure if this just scared her and she's staying put. Or the fall is making her sleepy? She's fully alert and is walking ok.

HI
Well come to HCM
As long as the head injury is concern it is necessary to keep the patient under the observation for couple of days, if your grandmother doe not have any neurological symptoms then she can be treated with Tab Acetaminophen and Tab Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation, if anything ever happened beside this then she need to be taken to hospital, take care.
