A member asked:
How long should you avoid alcohol after having an occipital skull fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Till at least it hea: The fracture should be fully healed and there should be no residual neurological damage/deficit. This would take over 2 months for the bones to heal. I can not estimate or predict if there is any neurological deficit untill after the first couple of months have passed.
