Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that you have developed a concussion wound due to injury on the head. As far as there is no bleeding and other symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness, confusion etc., you do not need to worry about the size or tenderness of the bump.

As the days will pass, the bump will automatically reduce until it disappears. You can do ice application over the area to reduce the swelling.

In addition, if you are in much pain, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg to control the pain.

However, if you develop nausea, vomiting, dizziness or confusion, you should see a physician for consultation and examination of the injured area.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
