Question : I bumped my head while I was swimming a week back. I have felt a sensation, which is more like mild pain since then. Should I consult a neurologist? There are no other symptoms like Vomiting, Dizziness, blackout, etc.

Yes, I don't have any symptoms apart from some sensation and mild pain. I don't see any reason why there should still be some pain. Should I take some medication?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response

A scalp contusion can sometimes hurt for long, especially on touching or putting pressure on the affected area.

You can take painkillers like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen
