headache after bump to head 2 days ago

[montymoo]

On friday I foolishly managed to bump my head on the wing mirror of my car after bending down to pick something up off the floor. Doh! I was not unconscious at any point although it was very painful. Two days later I still feel slightly queasy (though have not actually been sick at any point) and have a headache and earache to my right ear. Is it worth a vist to GP or leave it to go away? I don't want to waste Dr's time if not necessary.

Ouch, poor you! The doctor could examine your ear and would probably prescribe painkillers. I'd be more inclined to go to an osteopath tbh. You may well have cricked your neck/spine slightly, which would explain the headache lingering. Whenever I get them, it's usually fixed by a session or two of gentle manipulation. Not tried headbutting the car lately though...
