Should The Swelling Under The Eyebrow Be Concerned About?

I fell down last Tuesday. Hit head on cement on eyebrow area. Went to ER. Had 2 cat scans. Both normal. Take Plavix. Eye was swollen shut. This has since gone down. Problem - I have quite an amount of swelling under eyebrow. About the size of grape. Tender to touch and slight pain radiating to side of face. Have appt with regular doctor on 31st. Should I be concerned and have this looked at sooner?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
See whenever you have a forehead injury and blood collection under the skin the blood eventually seeps to areas around your eye.
If it hurts and is painful/tender there is a good chance it might be infected. Yes i think its better you get it tested earlier. Also in the meanwhile you can take a combination of a NSAID pain killer like Diclofenac 50 mg(once a day ) along with Serratiopeptidase 10 mg (twice a day to relieve the pain)
