What Causes Spots On Head And Black/blue Hip After Hitting Head?

I fell off of an elevated (. 2 steps up) toilet, not kidding last Sunday night at 11:30. The toilet seat broke off and I hit every step . Landed very hard on my head. My head has three spots that hurt, my hip is black and blue and I have my first black eye (I am70 yrs old).head hurts. Should I see my doctor? I work and don t have time to waste, but I m worried cause my head hurts.

It's better to get medicines so that long term.internal clotting doesn't take place. Without clinical assessment its not advisable to comment. However concussions and bruises will go with antiinflammatory and analgesics but main thing is to ensure no clotting takes place following head injury.

In India we advise patients to start taking Turmeric powder 1/2 to 1 tsp in warm milk or water immediately for few days. It's a wonderful first aid, antiinflammatory and analgesic and bacteriostatic without the toxic effect of synthetic drugs. No side effects.

Hope you understand and it helps you.
