My reply is below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious injury to brain or any nerve.
Most likley, you have developed
soft tissue injury and
hematoma (bleeding underneath the skin in the soft tissue) at the site of injury. Since you applied ice, the pain was not felt immediately, however, as the effect weared off, the pain was noted the next day.
I also agree that this pain and discomfort would go away in a few days.
Tylenol is a weak anti-inflammatory agent, instead, you could use
diclofenac or
ibuprofen tablets.
If symptoms persist beyond 4-5 days, you may consult a doctor.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
