What Is The Medication To Sleep After Injury To Head?
My son hit the top front of his head pretty hard last night. He was dizzy and a little disoriented at the time. Still has a bad headache this morning and is dizzy off and on depending on how he moves. There is no nausea and he can carry on a conversation just fine. All he wants to do is sleep. He is 14, 127 lbs, 5 5 tall. He is in excellent health.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I rally appreciate your concern for your son, let me tell you that in case of headache giving sedative drug is not at all good ideas because this could mask the clinical picture if any thing ever going to happens, so it would be better if patient remains alert, hope this information helps you have nice day.
