Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Head Injuries treatments at Raj Hospital

When should someone go to the hospital after a head injury?

You should seek emergency care immediately if the person loses consciousness, is persistently confused, vomits repeatedly, complains of a worsening headache, or experiences weakness or numbness anywhere in the body.

What is a 'lucid interval'?

It's a very dangerous period in some head injuries where a person seems completely fine immediately after the trauma before their neurological condition rapidly deteriorates. This is why medical evaluation is always recommended post-injury.

How long does a concussion take to heal?

Most concussions resolve within two to four weeks with strict physical and cognitive rest. However, recurring concussions or severe impact traumas may leave lingering symptoms requiring specific medical therapies.

What is Intracranial Pressure (ICP)?

ICP is the internal pressure inside your skull. Severe head trauma typically causes huge brain swelling, dramatically increasing this pressure. Unchecked high ICP ultimately destroys healthy brain tissue entirely, requiring immediate surgical release.

Why is clear fluid leaking from my nose dangerous?

Clear fluid explicitly leaking directly deeply from the nose or ears post-trauma is critically usually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This effectively signifies a direct massive fracture totally in the absolute base of the heavy skull, heavily inviting deadly infections.
