I have had a headacches all day and all i wanna do is sleep. I took medicine for my headache to go away but nothing has helped.

Post traumatic lump is caused by inflammation and swelling and may go by itself. Since it opened and caused bleeding, clean and sterile dressing is must to prevent infection. Pain killing should be managed by mild anti inflammatory medicine.

It would be more prudent to use curcumin ( turmeric) in milk or water .. Say 1/2 tsp twice a day. It prevents infection and is anti inflammatory too. It can well be applied on open wound by mixing in clarified butter. Alternatively Haridra capsules may be used for few days. It also contains turmeric. This Ayurveda technique is established in India for 7000 years and is now more authentically used after research. Completely safe .

In case of apprehensions may seek help from local Ayurveda doctor with these comments. If you are Nature savvy.

Hope it helps you. Prevent infection naturally.
