Suggest Remedy For Hematoma

My brother fell off his bike about 2 wks ago and has a hematoma (according to doctor). It is the size of a softball and does not seem to be going away. The bruises are gone but not the lump. Is this something to be worried about? He is 53 yrs old and in good health otherwise.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello! Welcome to HealthCareMagic.
Nothing is to be done for a hematoma as it resorbs spontaneously.
At the most you can take enzyme preparations containing trypsin, chymotrypsin.. like chymoral forte with your doctor's opinion.
These enzymes help in faster resorption of the hematoma.
Be watchful whether this hematoma gets infected or not... as fever will be there if it gets infected.
Consult your doctor for antibiotics in such situation & if pus is formed, drainage is necessary.
Hope this helps.
Wish you faster recovery.
Thanks.
Regards.
