Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should a person see a doctor if they have a large (1 1/2 round by 3/4 high) hematoma on the cheek bone caused by a fall? What can be done for it? Will it dissipate by itself? If so, how long should it take? What kind of doctor should this person see?

Suggest Treatment For Hematoma On The Cheek Bone.
Hello, Hematoma is nothing but a collection of blood. Generally, it will settle by itself in three to four days. As of now, you can apply ice packs for symptomatic relief and faster recovery. If swelling persists, you can consult a dental surgeon and evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
