Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi yes, my foot caught in a blanket when I was getting out of bed and I fell and hit the middle of my forehead on the corner of the windowsill. I felt cold all over, I had a ringing in my ears and a buzzing sound, felt dizzy and sick to my stomach for a while, when I tried to clean it with rubbing alcohol it burned and the dizzying feeling came back as well as the ringing and buzzing sound in my ears, I felt cold all over again and now I have a headache all over down through my neck and I just want to sleep. Do I have to go see someone or will it go away in a day? this isn t the first time I ve hit my head and felt like this and last time I didn t see anyone and it went away by the next day.

As per your explanation if you do not have headache, giddiness and imbalance kind of feeling then you can wait for one day take medicine and sleep. Buy then do apply some ice pack to reduce inflammation as well local pain. If there is any of the above symptoms you feel then rush to the nearest hospital available. Now since I am not able to check personally your wound and examine. I suggest based on your symptoms which are completely subjective you can take a call. Also if there is redness in eye you need to visit a doctor and get the brain mri. Hope this was useful for you. Take care.
