Emergency hospital care comes first
Seek emergency care after a head injury for loss of consciousness, worsening drowsiness, repeated vomiting, seizure, new weakness, confusion or speech and walking problems. Clear fluid from the nose or ears or a high-impact accident also requires urgent attention.
HEAD INJURY CONSULTATION · PATANCHERUVU
Understand the diagnosis and your next step
After a head injury, families often need advice about hospital findings, recovery and returning to usual activities. A clinic follow-up can support these discussions once urgent problems have been assessed. Head injury treatment in Hyderabad begins in an emergency department when there are concerning symptoms or a significant accident.
At Manik Neuro Clinic, Dr. S.P. Manik Prabhu provides specialist consultation for brain, spine and nervous system concerns. Bring your existing reports and questions so the discussion can focus on your symptoms and the care recommended for you.
Understanding head injury
A head injury can affect the scalp, skull or brain. Concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury that may cause temporary problems such as headache, dizziness or difficulty concentrating. Some injuries involve bleeding or fractures and need more intensive hospital treatment.
Symptoms to discuss
- Headache, dizziness or nausea after an injury
- Difficulty concentrating, memory changes or unusual tiredness
- Sensitivity to light or changes in sleep
- Symptoms that persist or interfere with returning to normal activities
Assessment and diagnosis
Initial assessment considers the accident, alertness and neurological findings. A CT scan may be required when clinical features suggest bleeding or another significant injury. Follow-up reviews the hospital diagnosis and current symptoms. Bring the discharge summary, scan images, medicine list and any return-to-work or activity instructions.
Prepare for your consultation
Bring previous scan images and written reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries and a list of current medicines. Note when the symptoms started, what has changed and which treatments you have already tried.

Treatment and ongoing care
The plan follows the diagnosis, examination findings and individual priorities. Where a hospital-based investigation or procedure is indicated, it needs to be planned with the appropriate treating team.
Emergency assessment first
Observation, monitoring, imaging or a neurosurgical procedure may be needed depending on the injury. A routine clinic appointment cannot replace emergency care.
Recovery after discharge
Follow the discharge instructions and discuss persistent symptoms with the treating team. Return to work, driving, study and sport should be considered individually rather than assumed safe immediately.
Specialist follow-up
Review can help clarify the hospital findings, ongoing symptoms and whether further tests or rehabilitation assessment are appropriate. New or worsening neurological symptoms require urgent reassessment.
