Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Forehead Due To Head Injury

Hi I am a 25 yr old woman and last night mucking around with some friends at a get together, I was kneed in the forehead. It wasn t on purpose, it was an accident but still really hurt. It is located just above my right eyebrow. I instantly felt swelling and had an egg/bump straight away. It is fair siZe and swelling goes from under my eyebrow to almost the top of my forehead (in a circle). The bump almost reaches to my other eyebrow as wel. Swelling is hard but there is a soft indent in the middle of the swelling where my actual forehead connected with the knee. Didn t lose consciousness, no blurred vision or anything like that. Should I be worried?

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to the impact as well as accumulation of fluid & blood.
The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body.
But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely.
Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by analgesics preparations (like paracetamol), ice compression & adequate rest.

If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, vomiting, dizziness, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor.
Under such circumstances, a proper clinical+ radiological evaluation will be needed to rule out any pathological cause for symptoms.

Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
