Headache after a fall may be caused by scalp injury or concussion, intracranial hemorrhage, contusion, skull fracture and other lesions.
1. Scalp injury or concussion: when the head injury is relatively mild, if the cranial CT examination suggests that there is no intracranial hemorrhage, there is no organic change, generally due to scalp soft tissue injury or brain tissue concussion and headache symptoms.
2. Intracranial hemorrhage, contusion and skull fracture and other lesions: If the CT head examination reveals intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral contusion, skull fracture and other lesions, the hematoma will produce more serious pressure on the brain tissue, resulting in headache, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms.
If there is no abnormality in the cranial CT examination, you can rest appropriately, and those with mild concussion can be relieved. If the pain continues to be unrelieved and is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a CT review.
