Answer:
Most skull fractures will heal by themselves, particularly if they're simple linear fractures. The healing process can take many months, although any pain will usually disappear in around 5 to 10 days. If you have an open fracture, antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent an infection developing.
Explanation:
In some cases, such as in basal skull fractures, medication to manage pain may be all that's needed. Although narcotics may sometimes be necessary, most people with a skull fracture only need over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a short course.
