Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
Swelling following fall can be controlled by using ice pack on the area of swelling. The bruising will reabsorb on its own in next 2 to 3 weeks. If the dizziness persists or you develop vomiting, loss of consciousness, persistent headache, vision problems or neurological problems, please be advised to follow up with the urgent care to get CT brain done.
