Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
Its definitely possible that you have fractured the brow bone. The only way to find that out definitely is by doing a X XXXXXXX of thee skull AP view.
For the rest of the injuries, this is what will help:
a. Apply warm compresses on the affected area. Make sure its not very hot.
b. Take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet 6 hourly till this subsides.
c. These wounds need dressing as this is an area where the infection can travel to the brain.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns
