What Does Swelling On The Left Side Of The Head Indicate?
This morning my husband scratched his head with his hand and at that very moment he felt swelling on the left side of his head and his left side of his body seemed different, he drove 12 hours to get home and it was an uncomfortable ride. He layed down when he got home when he got up he said he felt different but couldn t explain how. He has had ice on it for about an hour and a half now.

Hi,
We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all, it's sad to know what your husband had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, he needs to be reviewed for any chances of blood vessels rupture or vasculitis workup.
Scalp vessels or underlying scalp infection may also cause the same. Ice packs may help meanwhile. A quick medical review is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
