Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.
The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors
Based on the above information, we understand your concerns regarding your mother’s condition. For your information, head trauma or injuries should not be taken lightly. You are suggested to see your doctor at the hospital/clinic nearby, right away if you think your mother has the symptoms of a serious head injury, to avoid any complications.
In particular, immediate medical attention is required if she experienced any of the following:
- loss of consciousness
- confusion
- disorientation
It can be hard to assess how serious a head injury is just by referring to the symptoms or looking. Thus, it is important to treat all head injuries seriously and get them assessed by a doctor.
In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor for full examination with imaging studies.
