Suggest Remedies For Headache After Minor Injury To Head
Question: Hi I was closing the door and my foot got caught in it which caused me to close the door hitting the side of my head and temple. It only hurts slightly but I feel like I'm getting a low grade headache. There is some swelling in the temple area and nearbye my eyebrow but only minor. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be a cause of concern
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
The swelling and the pain are related to the injury and seepage of fluids below the skin. If there's a change of color it would also mean mild bleeding.
Since you didn't feel dizzy or drowsy, there's nothing to worry. Apply a little ice to the site and the swelling would decrease.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
