What should I do if I feel dizzy and have a headache after hitting my head

Children are very naughty. In life, it is inevitable that they will be hit on the head by objects. Adults are no exception. Since the head is the location of the central nervous system, everyone must pay attention to it. If you have symptoms of dizziness and headache after being hit on the head, you must deal with it in time, otherwise it will threaten everyone's health. So let's take a look at what to do if you feel dizzy and have a headache after being hit on the head?

First, what should you do if you feel dizzy and have a headache after hitting your head? If there is bleeding after hitting your head, you must go to the hospital for disinfection and bandaging. If there is no bleeding but accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, you should seek medical attention immediately and do a CT scan or X-ray of the head to see if there is any bleeding in the head. If there are no other reactions after being hit, you can take a rest and observe temporarily. If there is any bad situation, seek medical attention in time.

Second, after a head hit, apply cold compress within 24 hours and hot compress after 24 hours. This is because within 24 hours, the capillaries may rupture and bleed due to the impact. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, cold compresses cause the blood vessels to contract and reduce bleeding. After 24 hours, warm compresses can help dissipate the blood stasis.

Third, if you feel that the problem is not serious, but you still have symptoms such as pain later, you can go to the pharmacy to explain the situation to the doctor and buy some anti-inflammatory drugs. With the help of medication, you can recover as soon as possible and avoid affecting your work. After hitting your head, try to rest in bed. At the same time, don't think about trivial matters such as work and life, which will add burden to your brain. This will aggravate your symptoms such as headache and dizziness.

What should you do if you feel dizzy and have a headache after hitting your head? Don’t be rash in the future. Especially tell your children to be careful and alert when playing and protect their brains. Be cautious of slippery floors, low door frames, etc. to avoid being hit again. If there are no neurological symptoms (such as consciousness and mental state, limb movement, speech, etc.), there should be no major problem. Observe closely in the next few days and go to the hospital at any time if there are any problems. Get more rest and avoid fatigue, especially mental activities; treat headaches symptomatically. It will be almost done in about a week.
