My mother fell in the bathroom on the back of her head. It was a loud fall and she immediately bled. The wound is not deep but the impact was enough to separate the skin( less than 1/4 inch) We wrapped her head - applied pressure- and iced and are checking on her every hour to monitor signs of concussion. Should we go to the doctor and get a CT scan in the morning?
Hello, If your mother feels well, is alert, oriented, with no changes in her behavior, not with intense headache, no vomiting, no symptoms like double vision, vision loss, weakness or numbness of the limbs, balance or coordination difficulties etc., then you do not necessarily need to go and get a CT scan.  If any such manifestations appear though then you should urgently head to the ER. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
