A head injury from a fall requires emergency care if symptoms like loss of consciousness, persistent headache, vomiting, confusion, seizures, or weakness develop. Even if symptoms are mild initially, monitoring is crucial as they can worsen within 24-48 hours. 

 

Emergency Criteria:

• Loss of Consciousness:

  Any period of unconsciousness, even brief, warrants immediate medical attention. 

   
• Persistent or Worsening Headache:

  A headache that doesn't improve with over-the-counter pain relievers or gets worse requires evaluation. 

   
• Vomiting or Nausea:

  Repeated vomiting or persistent nausea, especially if accompanied by other symptoms, is a red flag. 

   
• Confusion or Disorientation:

  Difficulty thinking clearly, recognizing people or places, or behaving unusually are serious concerns. 

   
• Seizures or Convulsions:

  Any shaking or twitching movements, or loss of muscle control, indicate a potential severe head injury. 

   
• Weakness, Numbness, or Coordination Problems:

  Difficulty walking, moving limbs, or experiencing numbness or tingling can signal nerve damage. 

   
• Changes in Vision or Hearing:

  Difficulty seeing, double vision, or changes in hearing should be addressed promptly. 

   
• Fluid Drainage from Nose or Ears:

  Clear or bloody fluid coming from the ears or nose after a head injury can indicate a skull fracture. 

   
• Drowsiness or Difficulty Waking Up:

  Excessive sleepiness or inability to wake up from sleep is a serious symptom. 

   
• Irritability, Mood Changes, or Personality Changes:

  Unusual irritability, mood swings, or changes in personality can indicate a concussion or more serious injury. 

   
• Slurred Speech or Difficulty Speaking:

  Inability to speak clearly or understand language requires immediate medical attention. 

   
• Neck Pain or Stiffness:

  If there's also neck pain or stiffness, it could indicate a neck injury in addition to the head injury.
