Head injury on forehead
Hi Dr Sir/ Ma'am
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

If there are no red flag signs, no imaging is required
U may have transient on and off head ache and ringing sensation in ear upro 72hrs to 1week which is normal
Head ache relieving with simple meds is not an indication of imaging (ct,mri)
If ypur head ache is severe/persistent, then imaging is required
Next Steps
Modality of imaging depends on the presentation
