I have accidentally hit my forehead hard walking into a glass door. I was shaken at that time.
Now 80 hours have passed and I don't have any red flag symptoms like vomiting, fluid drainage, loss of consciousness etc.
But having on and off moderate headache.
Now since 80 hours has passed can I be sure that nothing serious is there or I need to attend doctors ? Why this moderate headache. Also after 80 hours ct scan or MRI which is better. Kindly help. Thanks

It's better if you visit a nearby health care facility because physical injuries are difficult to assist without seeing or feeling.

Dear Patient,
Since 80 hours have passed and you have no red flag symptoms (vomiting, loss of consciousness, confusion, fluid leakage), serious brain injury is very unlikely.
Moderate headache can occur due to mild concussion or soft tissue injury and may last a few days.
No scan is needed at present if symptoms are stable. If required, CT scan is preferred over MRI in head injury.
Seek urgent care if headache worsens, vomiting starts, drowsiness, weakness, or vision changes occur.
For detailed evaluation and guidance, kindly text me over Practo for full consultation
