How To Manage A Mild Concussion With Bruises And Swelling?
I fell a few day ago and my eye, the side of my face are swollen, very bruised and I actually look like I lost the fight. I am 66yo and have had several falls over the last few years. A few of the falls have effected the same side of the head and right eye. This time my husband said I didn t respond right away so he covered me with a blanket and I woke up a couple hrs later. I have no memory of falling. I think I might have a mild concussion. What should I be watching for?

Transient amnesia can occur after concussion head injury. Also it can occur if you had some seizure while fall down. You should get NCCT Head and EEG done to look for that. If you start to have some headache, vomitting or drowsiness, than need to rush to emergency room
