welcome to hcm,
after a head injury treatment will start from first maintaining his airway, breathing and circulation.
the head ache after injury is duue to the increase in csf pressure so the next step will focus on maintaining the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) pressure. so we use mannitol, and hypertonic saline is used. these reduce the csf pressure.
while doing these things your father might have been investigated with ct brain which will tell you whether he has intracranial hemorrhages.
in your follow up please tell us and upload his ct results which will be of more use in treatment plan.
