Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Pain In The Head

Posted on Mon, 14 Aug 2017

Question: Hi. I was getting out of a bathroom stall and the door was broken so as i was walking out - the door hit me in my head. The left side of my forehead. I saw stars after and have a big bump. I dont have a headache but feel a bit light headed bc i became so anxious after. My head feels tight on the side i was hit. It wasnt a heavy door. It kind of just literally knocked me by XXXXXXX Should i ice the area? Will i be ok? I am always worrying this is something more. My eyes are not dilated and i am coherent.

Thanks

Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
This seems to be minor superficial head injury only.
Applying ice will be helpful.
Pain killers like aceclofenac with serratiopeptidase can be started.
Visit to ER if there is severe headache, Recurrent vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures.
Wishing you good health and early recovery.
