You have been evaluated in the Emergency Department today for your head injury. Your CT scan did not show signs of bleeds or fractures in your head.
We recommend you take 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours or tylenol 650mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. If needed, you can alternate these medications so that you take one medication every 3 hours. For instance, at noon take ibuprofen, then at 3pm take tylenol, then at 6pm take ibuprofen.
Please schedule an appointment for follow up with your primary care physician as soon as possible.
Return to the Emergency Department if you experience worsening or uncontrolled pain, vision changes, recurrent vomiting, difficulty with normal activities, abnormal behavior, difficulty walking, numbness, weakness, or any other concerning symptoms.
Thank you for choosing us for your care.
