What other symptoms does he present other than headaches, and how often are severe are they? I wouldn't see any reason not to take the Tylenol if this is effective in pain mitigation. I would say he should continue to be mindful of activities that exacerbate the headache, but absent other problematic symptoms a return to normal activities should be a normal part of the recovery process.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
