What Causes Swelling On Forehead Spreading To Nose Post Injury?
I hit my head doing a backflip at the creek. I hit the front top of my head and my forehead. I now have swelling that started at my forehead that looked like an egg and it has now spread to my nose and eyes. Is this normal and how long will it take for this to go away.

Hi,
The cause for the swelling may be a hematoma. If the swelling is increasing please get an xray to rule out fracture. If it is reducing, then a simple pain killer which has an antinflammatory effect like diclofenac may help.
But please show a GP at the earliest.
