Thanks. i was hit over my right eye with a metal object and a dime sized lump came up immediately. I iced it immediately and iced it all morning. It's a little sore and it has gone down considerably. Also, I have a slight headache. Did I do the correct thing for it/

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Yes, you did the right thing. The lump you have had there is nothing more than a bruise caused by tissues swelling. Putting and ice on it in first hours is a good idea, however it should not be continued for a long time. Now all you need to do is wait and give a time to your body. The bruise should go away within a week or so.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
