I had a terrible headache after my toddler struck me in the back of the head with his head. For the past two days, I've been able to raise my forehead but not change sides. Please advise
After a head injury, a strong headache and two days of trouble rotating or moving the head regularly could be caused by a concussion, neck injury, muscle strain, or, in rare cases, a more serious brain issue. For relief, rest, avoid abrupt neck movements, drink plenty of water, and apply a cold or warm compress softly. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for a thorough assessment because the symptoms have persisted for two days following the incident. If you experience vomiting, lightheadedness, drowsiness, blurred vision, weakness, disorientation, or a worsening headache, get medical help right away.
