Accident
Hey, I kinda need alot of help here.
My friend Christie has recently been in a car accident.. on Saturday night. She isnt hurt, but her head is pounding and she has bruises where the seatbelt was and where the air bag burnt her.
Her father is in critical condition, He broke both of his legs and his nose and he is very burnt.
While the collision happened, she was going 40 mph and the guy trying to pass a car in front of him was going 65 mph. It was a head on collision while the person trying to pass was over the double yellow line.
Christie's head is pounding, and I don't know what to say when she says "my head hurts.. it's pounding!" And I told her to go back to the hospital [she went saturday night after the accident, and they said it was just a head ach.] I told her to try to ice it, and just not go in heavy activity and she does anyways. Should she go back to the hospital? And after the told them her head hurts, they told her she probaly is in shock and its just a headach.
Thankyou <3

Sorry to sound like a broken record since everyone is giving you the same advice, but your best friend needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible. She needs to get her head X-rayed (possibly a cat scan or an MRI) to see if something serious is going on internally.
I would even hesitate to advise her to take any medicine for the pain. Some medicines containing Aspirin can thin your blood, which is not good if you have an internal bleed. Advise her to go get checked out so she can get the appropriate treatment. She'll feel better physically and mentally when she does.

yes she should go back to the hospital beucase it could be more then just a head ache if it has been going on for more then one day. tell her that she has to and you will go with her if she wants you to and i personly think she is scared still and she just needs someone there for her. but make her go back!

If she's been in a car accident and she sustained a head injury which is causing headaches several days later, she must go back to the hospital. Now!
It may only be shock and just a headache, but does she really want to take that chance? Better to go and get it checked out than to suffer and run the risk of something more serious.
I hope she and her father recovers soon.

Tell her to go back to the hospital. She could be suffering from whip-lash. Since she still has a pounding headache it's obviously not just shock from the accident. Tell her to go back ASAP!!
