I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?

Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_
- Watch for worsening headache: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention.
- Look for other symptoms: Monitor for symptoms like:
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
- Confusion or disorientation
- Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
- Sudden severe headache
- Difficulty speaking or swallowing
- Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg
- Vision changes or double vision
Birth Control Pills
As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding.
Follow-up
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I'm dealing with vertigo for the past four months, and it's really bothering me. Every time I change position, even for just about 34 seconds, this dizziness hits. My family doctor suggested I take Vitcofol, Neurobion Forte, and Betahistine 16, and I got some injections too, but it hasn't helped much. The vertigo seems to be worse in the morning, and I'm struggling to stand properly. I'm only 20, and my CT scan came back normal. Could there be something else causing this, or should I try different treatments?
You've taken the right steps: 1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain. 2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain. _Current situation:_ 1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought. 2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment. 2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection. 3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks. 4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had brain tumor surgery last year, and the doctor prescribed her Hisone 5mg pills to take daily since then. Lately, she's been having some dizziness and occasional blackouts. Could these symptoms be related to the Hisone pills she's taking? What might be causing this?
Don't worry, hospitalization ensures close monitoring and proper care. Shortness of breath in typhoid fever can occur due to various reasons, such as anemia, dehydration, or cardiac complications. Although it's true that shortness of breath typically occurs in the third week, it's not a hard and fast rule. Your doctor will continue to monitor your condition and adjust treatment accordingly. Focus on resting, staying hydrated, and following your treatment plan. You're in good hands; let the medical team manage your care.
