Question
As wounds heal, there will be an inflammatory response and all wounds will swell slightly.
The scalp is a very vascular tissue and hence it heals very fast. It also means that the commonest cause of a swelling in a scalp wound is a blood clot.
Other rare causes include infection with collection of pus and the most fear complication of is the accumulation of Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF). The main danger here is the risk of infection in this collection of CSF and may eventually lead to meningitis.
Thank you for posting your question. We are under strict guidelines proposed by the Singapore Medical Association. I have reproduced a small portion for you below. The decision depends on the diagnosis of the seizure, and the type of vehicle that you are driving. There wouldn’t be any point doctor-hopping, as all of us follow the exact same guidelines.
It sounds like you suffered an attack of vasogagal syncope, which is a largely benign overreaction of the nervous system to certain stimuli. Ie your IBS symptoms resulted in your fainting episode. Seizures are generally determined when witnessed, although certain telltale signs (such as loss of urinary or bowel continence) might suggest a possible seizure. There are, however, many types of Seizures and it is difficult to comment on without further information. If this occurs frequently it might be best to be examined properly by a medical physician.
