Patient: Hi dr my friend was in a accident 4 days ago and was discharged from hospital his ears are still bleeding and he complains that I his head feels heavy... with that said yesterday afternoon he felt beter and went hiking all these pains came back last night... Doctor: Dear Friend.Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.Pain in head can be due to Post traumatic Concussion syndrome.But bleeding ears is not acceptable.I would advise you to get treatment from your ENT specialist.Bleeding ears also require a CT Scan head to be done.For pain in head , he can take after discussion from your doctor Tab Escitalopram 5mg twice a day for 7 days.This is my personal opinion based on details available here.  If you still have any query you may please ask me.Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
