Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day for pain relief.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application If the symptoms continue you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
