I hit the back of my head

If the back of the head is accidentally hit, it should be taken seriously. Do not ignore it because there are no discomfort symptoms at the time. There are many nerves in the brain. If the motor center or language center is accidentally hit, it will directly affect the person's ability to express and other problems. If the back of the head is hit, you must check it out in time. What should you do if the back of the head is hit? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if I hit the back of my head?

If you hit the back of your head, you may feel dizzy, vomit, or have a persistent headache. If this is the case, go to the hospital for a CT scan. If you hit the back of your head, it is not a big problem, because your description of the problem is still logical.

The most serious injury to the back of the head is concussion, which has these symptoms

(1) Confusion or complete coma occurs immediately after the injury. Usually no more than half an hour.

(2) After waking up, the patient cannot recall the situation at the time of injury or even the period before the injury.

(3) Headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting after injury.

2. Condition Analysis:

Condition analysis: If the back of the head is hit, soft tissue injury is considered. If there is headache and vomiting, a CT scan of the head can confirm it. If there is no intracranial injury, there is generally no obvious sequelae.

3. Guidance:

According to the described situation, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, apply cold compress to the local wound early, take blood circulation and pain relief capsules, and have a head CT scan if necessary.

The above are the solutions after hitting the back of the head. When you experience vomiting, nausea, and other symptoms after hitting the back of the head, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Concussion is a common phenomenon after hitting the back of the head. This disease is completely curable, so patients do not need to be too nervous.

4. Precautions

If you fall on the back of your head, you must pay great attention to it, because after falling on the back of your head, the brain tissue will move inside the skull due to the action of external force, causing the brain tissue to hit the forehead. Because the inside of the forehead skull is uneven, it is very easy to cause cerebral contusion and laceration. Cerebral contusion and laceration can cause increased intracranial pressure. When the body's intracranial pressure regulation loses its normal balance, a series of symptoms of increased intracranial pressure will appear, such as nausea, vomiting, and impaired consciousness in the early stages. In severe cases, it can lead to brain herniation and death. Therefore, once the back of the head hits the ground, the patient's consciousness state must be closely observed and the head CT scan must be reviewed dynamically. At this time, hospitalization for observation is required.
