What is Head Trauma?
This broad category ranges from minor cuts to serious brain injury and involves injury to the scalp, skull, or brain. Head trauma can occur in situations like falls, crashes, or bumps.
Treatment of Head Trauma
Serious head injuries need quick medical attention at a hospital. Scans or other tests may be needed to assess the injury. If there's an open wound, stitches or staples might be necessary. In severe cases, medication or surgery could be indicated.
