Is Swelling Due To Being Bumped On The Head A Cause For Concern?
I was just in the clothes washing room and a cabinet door came back open while I was picking up clothes on the floor. When I stood up, I hit the top of my head pretty hard on the corner of the cabinet door. It hurt enough for me to say a dirty word and now has swollen about a quarter inch and is about the size of a quarter. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Relax. No need to be concerned much as this is normal response to injury. There are no signs of brain injury.
Only concern is if there is any open wound at the site of hurt. Cold compression and NSAID like ibuprofen will help you.
