Symptoms of a small concussion?
Question:
My headache wasn't that bad yesturday BUT today it's horrible. One of my eyes is dialated and the other one is just normal.
I don't have a bump where i hit my head.
I hit my head about 1 inch above my eye on the side of my forehead.
Are these symptoms of a mild concussion?
If so what do you suggest?
My brothers has had one and the doctors didn't really do anything for it.
Any help would be great.
Answers:
For the Next 2 day, Every 4 to 6 Hours I would Take some Aleve, 800 MG, 2. At that point if you feel no relief I would definately call a physician. Don't be alone, in fact if you notice any symtoms other than what you have told us. I would head to the ER. Just sit still and relax a couple of days.
Take care.
High Fever
Vomiting
Eyes do not dilate
You need a head ct! The dialation could be a head bleed, not a minor concussion. Yes, concussions are common, but some severe ones require hospitalization. Usually with a head injury you have nausea, vomiting, ha, and the extreme is changes in your pupils. It is possible, but abnormal pupils are NEVER good, unless that's how they are normally. Is the dialated eye reacting to light? Being the frontal part of your head makes it more likely to be a more severe injury, the back of your head can take a much harder blow without injury than the front.
My suggestion, if you are concerned go to the ER, at the least, call your doctor and see if you can at least get a head ct. I wouldn't wait if your pupils are really unequal
