Hi there ,

Well seems like you've hit your head pretty hard when you fell down from the bike. Since its already been 3 days and you havn't experienced any other symptoms (nausea/vomiting/loss of consciousness/weakness of any part of body/sudden severe headache/fits etc.) apart from the pain and soreness over the area, I don't think you're in need of any urgent medical attention.

Just apply a bag of frozen peas/ ice pack over the affected area and perhaps take Tab PARACETAMOL 650mg Three times a day after food for 2-3 days and you'll be fine.

Meanwhile avoid any form of driving and dealing with any heavy machineries. just take rest for the next 2-3 days and please don't rub the area of the head.

Keep yourself under strict observation for the next 4-5 days meanwhile if You experience any problems (mentioned above) just don't hesitate to visit your nearest ER for further evaluation

Thanks a lot for contacting HCM
