Suggest Remedy For Injury On Middle Of Brow Bone
Dented or broken eyebrow bone?!So I bent down quickly and forcefully to pick something up. I hit the middle of my brow bone on the corner of a booth at a restaurant. It s very tender and sore, but nothing visible like bruises or redness. It seems dented and hurts a lot. Will it heal on it s own or should I see a doctor and get an x ray? Are there any treatments? Please help, and I am a 16 year old female by the way

Hi..
Injury to the eye brow without any ocular ( eye) abnormality or to the head is not a major concern accept for cosmetic purpose.
Eye brow injury can cause fracture of the supraorbital ridge ( eye brow bone) which heals by itself. unless for a cosmetic purpose which if required should be addressed later not immediately.
things to do:
1)i would suggest to leave the injury alone for 4-5 weeks, if there is a fracture let it heal and later see for any visible cosmetic deformities (indent/bump) , if present and bothering your appearance then visit a plastic surgeon with x-rays and CT scan.
As of now
2) take pain killer ( diclofenac 50mg twice a day if ur non asthmatic, if ur asthmatic take paracetamol 500mg twice/thrice a day)
3) take serriopeptidase twice a day to reduce the swelling.
4) the eye might swell up in short time due to edema and blood collection do not worry it will subside in course of time.
5) watch for any head injury signs like loss of consciousness, amnesia, vomiting , seizures, blurring of vision , giddiness etc and also for loss of vision if occurs report immediately to the hospital.
6) good rest, hydration and nutrition can assist in faster healing.
Thank you
