Suggest Treatment For Major Concussion
I had a mountain bike accident last week resulting in a major concussion. There is pain and swelling on the innner part of the bone that my eyebrow is on. I still can't feel the right side of my skull. CT scan showed nothing. How long does this all take to heal?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Recovery is a slow process. It takes around 2-3 weeks to recover. You should take care of following things:
> Take rest.
> Avoid sternous activity.
> Take a cloth piece and heat over flame so that it becomes warm, then place it over the eye. It will give soothing effect. Black eye is due to blood accumulation under skin.
> Take healthy food including fruits & vegetables
Report to hospital (preferably to neurosurgeon as he is specialized in head trauma cases) if:
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> You loose conscious or has altered state & talk irrelevant things.
> There is visual problem.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
