Swelling Between Eye And Ear After Hit Left Temple. Feeling Dizzy, Headache. Need To Be Concerned?
Im 18, 5'11" and weigh 155. I got into a fight and the guy hit me iin my lleft ttemple a lot. Between my eye aand my ear its a little swollen, i cant tell if its swollen where my hair is though. When i was hit i did feel dizzy but i didnt fall unconscious. Im scared because i keep reading about people dying from stuff like this. It happened about 6 hours ago. Right now i have a slight headache so i dont think its to bad. Hurts to bite all the way down to. I dont really want to go see a doctor but should i be concerned? What should i do?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
With history of trauma to temple region, i feel you should get examined by doctor. Any bone fracture needs to be ruled out. May need X-ray to see for bone fracture.
Any injury to surrounding structures like inner ear eye and intra cranium needs immediate treatment.
Anti inflammatory medications helps to reduce edema.
Hope this helps you.
