Hit Head Hard And Now Hurting. Took Extra-strength Tylenol. Having Dark Circles Under Eyes. What To Do?
Question: Hi. I am 51 year old female in good health. Earlier today I hit my head hard on a low-hanging porch. It hurt super bad but didn't break the skin. I took a couple of extra-strength tylenol and the pain went away pretty quickly and except for some slight tenderness, it doesn't feel bad anymore. My pupils aren't dilated or different sizes. Its been about 8 or 9 hours since the accident. Now I can see that I have dark circles under both of my eyes and against my nose right by my eyes. Not super super dark, but definitely darker than usual. Should I worry?
Hi XXXXX,
No, there are absolutely no reasons to worry. You should be fine soon.
Apply ice packs to the affected areas every 2 hours for next 6 hrs. Do not worry. There is no serious damage to your face or to your brain.
Take rest and drink plenty of fluids. There is no need to see a doctor now.
Get well soon.
