why does laura have a headache on the right side when she bumped her head on the left?

Question

when is the pain going to go away? because it really hurts!!

Answer 1

The brain isn't set in some solid gel making it immobile, it can move slightly and therefore just think of Newton's First Law....opposite and equal reaction....it bounced.

Answer 2

Something called coup-contrecoup.
The brain is quite soft - the inside of the skull is very sharp and hard.
When you hit one side of your head your brain slams into the opposite side and can often sustain an injury on that side.
Sometimes it is bruising, a bleed or somethig more sinister.
Hence the headache. I would seek some medical attention if the headache becomes very bad, vomiting occurs or decrease in consciousness just to be safe. If Laura becomes sleepy, confused or her pupils become sluggish to react or uneven I would seek attention rapidly.

Answer 3

We have treated 15 & 20 yrs Migrains.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk with sugar at bed time preferably or meals, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
