My husband has a knot of the top back right side of his head, right above the partial ridge. He also has 2 gashes on his head. He has no memory of hitting it or anything falling on him. He has a headache and was nauseous a couple hours ago. Does he need to go to the ER?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Treatment for the lump on the back of the head-In my opinion your husband has not on right side of back of head, due to the boil, which is causing a lot of headache. The infection in it is causing raised BP and or gastritis leading to Nausea he has. Treatment suggested would be-Treat the infected knot on the back of the head, by antibiotics under ER Surgeon. Tab antacid (proton pump inhibitors)for to control nausea. This would resolve the issues you had. For this you need to consult ER Surgeon ugly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
