Hello,
Thanks for Writing to Health Care Magic and putting trust in us regarding your Health related query.
I am Dr. Saleha and I have read your message in detail, I understand your concern and will try to help you in this.

I am sorry to know about the injury you got, it's a pleasure though, to see that you have been recovering well.
Yes there can be swelling at the place of injury and you can apply Volini at this place, This will do few things.

+It will reduce pain.
+It will reduce inflammation.
+Massaging it will increase the blood circulation to damage area this will make it quick for the blood to clear out debris.

You can safely apply Volini till you fell better, you can also get cold compresses they will improve your pain and inflammation.

A person can normally feel dizzy after an injury to head it might be due to a mild concussion, and sometimes it just has no evident reason just a part of injury response.
If you had history of unconsciousness or vomiting after the injury I will advise you to visit your doctor immediately , if there was no history of unconsciousness and vomiting then in my opinion there is no indication of a visit to a doctor on the next day of injury I believe you can just take read, drink much fluid and take care of injury site, within two three days more, you will be feeling perfect an normal.

You don't have to worry stay calm It will be alright soon.

I hope this answers your question.If you have more questions, I am happy to answer.
Wish you lasting health.
