Do I Need A Medical Advise For A Lump On The Head And Constant Headache After Head Injury?
Question: I banged my head on a hanging wall tv Tuesday and have a lump tender on the top of my head and a bruise lower on my forward and have had a constant headache since then. Tylenol does not make it better but lessens it a little. Do I need to see a dr?
Brief Answer:
Yes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but unfortunately I would recommend that you seek medical care for a ct scan on your head to exclude subdural hematoma which can get serious if neglected. I would also recommend that you stop taking Tylenol until subdural hemorrhage is excluded.
I hope I answered your question.
Take care.
