Common questions about Head Injuries treatments at Raj Hospital
You should seek emergency care immediately if the person loses consciousness, is persistently confused, vomits repeatedly, complains of a worsening headache, or experiences weakness or numbness anywhere in the body.
It's a very dangerous period in some head injuries where a person seems completely fine immediately after the trauma before their neurological condition rapidly deteriorates. This is why medical evaluation is always recommended post-injury.
Most concussions improve within two to four weeks. Current advice is relative rest for the first day or two, followed by a gradual, symptom-guided return to normal activities as advised by your doctor. However, recurring concussions or severe impact traumas may leave lingering symptoms requiring specific medical therapies.
ICP is the internal pressure inside your skull. Severe head trauma typically causes huge brain swelling, dramatically increasing this pressure. Uncontrolled high ICP reduces blood flow to the brain and can cause further brain damage, so it needs urgent treatment in intensive care, with medicines and, in some cases, surgery.
Clear fluid leaking from the nose or ears after a head injury may be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This can indicate a fracture at the base of the skull and carries a risk of infection such as meningitis, so emergency medical care is needed.
