Got Head Injury. No Dizziness Or Vomiting. Noticed Black Eye After Few Days. Should I Consult A Doctor?
Thank you for the query.
You have heard correctly. Most of the skull fractures (especially) in the facial area does not need any treatment as the skull is very stable structure. So even if it were broken, most likely no surgery is necessary or any other medical help.
The bruise which has appeared around your eye is quite common after head traumas. It can indicate broken bone, but not necessarily. Such bruise can be present for even 2-3 weeks and will be changing colors in that time (to green and yellow).
It is almost a week from your trauma and if there were any brain injury, you would have notice it.
Symptoms which indicate brain injury are: nausea, vomiting, strange headache, dizziness, blurred vision, lost of consciousness, memory loss.
If none of this symptoms is present, no further investigation is needed after a week from the trauma.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
