Why Could The Right Side Of Skull Feel Swollen In Comparison To The Left ?

My friend is complaining that her the right side of her skull feels swollen in comparison to the left side. Upon feeling it I can tell that the right side feels larger as well. She says it feels like it is bruised, and touching it brings her to tears. Im wondering what it could be and if I should take her to the hospital.

Hello user,
The pain and sweeling implies some inflammatory reaction behind the swelling.

You are hereby requested to visit to nearby doc to let the swelling examined and get some blood investigations done like simple CBC and ESR values.

do revert back to us for second opinion if you wish!!!
