How should the elderly take care of a head injury?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: My friend's father accidentally injured his head at home. The examination revealed hydrocephalus and a clavicle fracture, but the doctor said there wasn't a major problem and advised him to rest and recuperate at home. How should he recuperate? What should he eat to benefit his injury?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: It is recommended to rest at home and take good care after identifying the cause. Avoid any stimuli or collisions and provide gentle care.
Advice: It is best not to give the elderly milk or soy milk, as they are both gas-producing foods and can easily cause bloating. You can prepare some light and delicious meals, such as:
- Minced meat and egg soup (the minced meat must be finely ground, preferably lean meat, and you can add a moderate amount of dried shrimp)
- Small dumplings
- Soft noodles (add a small amount of finely ground vegetable mixture)
- Steamed pumpkin
- Stir-fried chicken strips
- Scrambled tofu with chicken protein
- Fish porridge
- Chicken porridge
- Mushroom porridge, etc.
