How To Treat Head Injury?

I hit my head really bad and got a bump thats purple from it, and i slept on it and woke up to a black eye, and every day since the black eye keeps getting worse. Yesterday I woke up with blood in my eye too. Its been 4 days since I first got the black eye and it keeps getting larger/darker. I went to the doctors when it first happened and they said it should be fine. Now that I woke up to a bloody eye I'm a little worried. Should I be concerned?

the black eye is due to collection of blood, it will take around 2 weeks to clear off. If there is no vomiting or neurological symptoms then it is just subcutaneous bleeding. any case u can get ct scan to rule out any serious condition.
