Question: I smashed heads with my dog today when he was running at me and I now have a small bump on my temple that is sore and hurts to the touch..I feel a little naseous but it happened around 9 hours ago...Im a hypochondriac and am worried about internal bleeding..do you think i have reason to worry or should see a doctor or do you think I'm okay? I was not knocked out or anything it just hurt pretty badly at first
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
Internal injury and bleeding is suspected only if any of the following symptoms are there -
1. Bleeding from nose and ears
2. Loss of consciousness
3. Persistent vomiting
4. Seizures
Since none of these have happened , it is less likely that you have XXXXXXX injury and bleeding.
The swelling you have on the temple is due to the injury and you can take tylenol for pain relief.
I hope that answers your question.
If you have no more questions, kindly accept this answer and rate this service.

Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX Kini for answering my question and so promptly too! I really appreciate it. Do you believe a concussion could be in question? If so,am I okay to go to sleep tonight without seeing a doctor since it has been over 7 hours?
Hi,
Since it has been more than 7 hours and you have no symptoms other than nausea and a small bump on the temple, there is no need to worry about even concussion.
You can sleep without worrying about XXXXXXX injury including concussion.
I hope that answers your question.
