Suggest Treatment For Lumps

Hi I hit my head really hard falling down stairs, had a massive lump went to hospital but left as soon as I could. I remember thinking I felt fine at the time and wanted out of there but that it really hurt. I don't remember much after or before I hit. Woke up the next morning with a sore jaw on the same side I hit (hit the back of my head) and a sore tailbone. Had headaches for a few days after and still had a massive lump that bruised half of my head. It's now 3 weeks later and I can't wear my hair up or my head hurts. Still a few lumps on my head that are cushion-y. Should I got back to the doctor?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Its hematoma after a trauma, which is seen as a bulge in your case, it will resolve on its own in 2 -3 weeks.
2.But if its not resolving still having pain - i can think in terms of infective aetiology.
3.Its better you see your treating doctor / GP, let the area get examined, if there is any pus collection or infective features seen.
4.A small incision to remove the pus collection, and good dressing and a course of antibiotics is what you need.
5.Yes better you see your doctor.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
