Head injury, severe
Read about the signs of a severe head injury, such as seizures, unconsciousness, drowsiness, repeated vomiting, and blood or clear liquid coming from the ears or nose.
If any of the symptoms of a severe head injury are present, immediately go to your local accident and emergency (A&E) department or call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
A severe head injury must always be treated in hospital to minimise the risk of complications.
Your recovery programme will depend on the exact nature of your injury, your individual needs and general health.
Severe head injuries can cause serious complications, mainly because the brain can be damaged, sometimes permanently.
