Could The Pain And Bleeding From Wound Below The Eye Be A Matter Of Concern?

Hi, I was at the forest yesterday with friends and we were on a rope swing. (It s made from a heavy branch you sit on attached to some string suspended from a tree). I was getting off the swing whilst it was still in motion. I got off but forgot to move out the way of the swing that was in full motion going fairly fast. The branch hit my eye really hard. It hit didn t hit the eye ball- but it hit the bit of skin below (where bags under eyes are). There was a bit of bleeding and now it hurts whenever I touch it. The bone beneath the skin there feels weird. Is it worth going to a gp or shall I just hope it heals? Sorry for all the details.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Likely contused lacerated wound by tree branch injury. Following directions for better recovery:
- As this is the region of face with cosmetic importance, consultation with an expert surgeon is advisable for:
@ Sterile dressing
@ Prescription of antibiotics such as Cephalexin, Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid or others to prevent secondary bacterial infection
@ Anti-inflammatory drugs with Serratiopeptidase
@ Discuss the need of Tetanus injection as per the last vaccine shot

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
