Brief Answer:
Upload reports

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Possibility of head injury with superficial soft tissue bleeding. Black eye with eye closure can be due to hematoma.
You should get a CT head done and examined by a neurosurgeon.
Continue painkillers and serratiopeptidase.
Upload any image of investigations if available.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.

My husband fell, but never hit his head.
Had 2 credit scans and an mri. Found nothing.
Pressure behind the eye is still there.
Living on Ondansetron for the nausea and Norco for pain.

Brief Answer:
Require reports and examination findings if available

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If CT and mri is normal then dizziness may be due to cardiac or vascular problem leading to transient ischaemic attack.
Eye problem seems to be due to orbital cellulitis if swelling is present. You can send some reports or medical prescription to get to examination findings.
Wishing good health and early recovery.
