How Can A Neck Lump With A Headache Be Treated?

My husband got into a bad cycling accident 3 days ago where he had a large gash on his forehead and road rash throughout his body. Today he has a lump on his neck about in inch about where it meets the back/shoulders. It does not hurt to move or to push on it but hes starting to have a bad headache. Should we be concerned and should we head back to the ER for them to check out?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment of neck lump with headache-
This lump in the neck appears to be of hematoma-as its not painful on movement or to push.It would cause bad headache-due to the tissue trauma and tensile hematoma in the lump.
Could be treated by-Cold compresses/Antibiotics/ Voltaren gel locally / with Thrombophobe oint locally would resolve the lump fast.
If it liquifies ,it may need to be Aspirated and compression bandage-to treat it.
I would suggest consultation with ER Surgeon.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
