Having Persistent Headache, Eyes Are Red And Watery. X-ray Confirmed Crack In Orbital Bone Around Eyebrow Area. Help?
Question: Hello. I hit my head a few days ago on the right side around my eye brow. I've had a persistent headache ever since and my right eye is red, watery and hurts. I don't feel like doing anything at all and the headache is excruciating to the point where I can't concentrate on anything at all and I just want to lay down with my eyes closed. When I first hit my head, a small bump camp up and it bruised slightly and there is still a tiny cut there. I went to the doctor this morning and an x-ray confirmed that I had a crack in my orbital bone around the eyebrow area. I'm really concerned about the headaches and was wondering if I should look further into this issue? Help!
