A member asked:
My son's head feels from due to a fractured skull that he got. how long will it take for him head to return to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skull fracture: Assuming no concussion, symptoms related to the skull fracture: HA, emesis, bleeding, change of behaviors, he should resolve the fracture in time (4-8 weeks). The skull might be soft for a few weeks-months, but should not affect internal brain function, assuming no other symptoms from this trauma.
