Post traumatic headache

Asked for Male, 29 years

I had my left portion of back head banged about 2 months ago and it was pretty impactful. Due to unavailability, I couldn't apply any ice pack or stuffs right at the moment. Since then, I'm experiencing a dull throbbing headache in my left back region of head which intensifies at times. I have trouble sleeping if I put pressure on turning left on my head. I did see a doctor and had CT scan done which was normal. Yet I continue to experience the headache and is interfering with my daily life.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. I would recommend you to apply an analgesic balm-like move or tiger balm in gentle circles to the back of your head, firmly but gently.
This would help increase healing and blood circulation in that region.
Apply heat or ice packs for a few days as well as per your convenience. If things don't improve then consult a neurologist again.
