A member asked:

My brother fell from 20ft ladder last weekend. at time saw only few bruises but that night started non-stop headaches. possible reasons? advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headache after fall: If he still has headache he should have a cat scan oh head done to rule out subdural hematoma.He may have had a bleed in his head which can be slow and can present later.
