Suggest Treatment For Lump On Head Caused By Hitting
I hit my head very hard about 10 days ago (getting into a pickup - full force hit the front/top of my head on a metal part sticking out). It hurt very badly, and swelled quite a bit. After a few minutes of getting my "bearings" I went on. I had been not "feeling right" the past 10 days - dizzy, nausea and it just occurred to me it may be from hitting my head? I can also still feel the "lump" where I hit my head. Will this get better with time or is going to the Dr. the best?

HI.GREETINGS from Hcm.Since you had injury with a hard rod on the head and swollen up you definitely need to get a neurosurgeon opinion. He will advise you a cat scan of the brain to look for fracture of skull with associated haemorrhage like extradural subdural or sub arachnoid haemorrhage.If nothing is there it will be a scalp haematoma which will settle with medicines
