How Can Swelling On The Forehead Be Treated?

I was recently in a bad car accident, air bag was deployed on drivers side. that day I had some confusion in thinking, and the right side of my upper forehead was swollen and hurt to be touched. Also I had a terrible headache and I never have headaches. Next day right side eye and forehead very badly bruised. I m still having trouble thinking clearly and had had mild to bad head aches. What do you think I should do?

welcome to hcm ..usually all head injury patients are kept under observation for 72 hours ..i think you met with accident more than 3 days ago but as you are still having bad headaches and inability to think clearly then you should get the NCCT scan brain done at the earliest ..if the ct is normal you need analgesic as aceclofenic 100 two times for 5 days...if you need more advise after ct then you can again come to this forum ..i will be happy to help you ...
