Suggest Remedy For Headaches And Bump On Head Post Injury
Doctor, I bumped my head on a gate a few days ago. I had a bit of a head-ache after that, but didn t notice till yesterday that I could feel a lump where the gate hit me. Today I prodded it and some clear liquid oozed out of it. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using cold compresses at the bump area.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
In case of persistent headaches or vomiting you should go at the emergency room.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
