What Is The Remedy For Pain In The Head And Swelling Due To An Injury?
I took a hard fall and the upper right back of my head on a curb. It immediately swelled and I applied ice. No headache or sleepiness. But now, 4 hours later, the swelling is less and very spongy feeling. What should I do, if anything. I'm 57 and in good health

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to soft tissues injury. You have no signs of a head concussion. So relax and do not worry about it!
You should know that after a head trauma the soft tissue in that region swell and can cause a temporary loss of sensation because of the nerve compression in this area.
But everything will turn to normality in some days. You should just be a little patient.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
