Hit Head Above Ear On Steel Door. Tender And Swollen. Should I See Doctor?
Hi I fell today--
I hit my head against a steel edged door. It was very quick. Right foot slipped forward from pilled chicken. right leg hot forward and I fell backward. I hit head against the door going out to the grill. The impact was above my right ear. I feel tender and a bit of swelling. the tender spot is about the size of a human tooth.
Should I go in and get checked?

Hi,
Yes it is always better to get checked instead of delaying and visiting when complication occurs
Consult neurologist/Neurosurgeon for same and CT scan with bone window to be done to rule out structural lesion.
Have analgesics (naprosyn 250 mg )for headcahe
