When Will This Headache Go After Being Punched On The Fore Head?
I was punched very hard on the forehead 3 days ago. I had two large bumps on my forehead but I placed ice packs on it. I can still feel the bumps but its not visible. I have had heaches ever since. I have tried various painkillers but it doesn't seem to work. My one eye is also red on the inside, and blue and a bit swollen on the outside. Will this persistent headache go away?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and it appears that you had a severe impact on the head.
However, I would like to reassure you that this headache would go away in the next few days.
You could take ibuprofen or diclofenac tablets for pain relief and to reduce the swelling.
If headache persists, please get a CT scan of head done and consult a neurologist.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
