Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I think there is nothing to worry about.
When ever there is injury to the part, swelling happens as the blood and other fluids get collected in that area.
This will gradually disappear over a period of couple of days.
You can take analgesic like brufen or paracetamol for pain or discomfort if you have any.
Please consult your doctor:
>If you have increasing pain at the site of injury
>Giddiness
>Some unusual feeling like heaviness in head
>Swelling keeps on increasing
>The swelling does not disappear in couple of days.
I do not think any sort of this will happen; still this is for your information.
I hope this helps you in taking an informed decision.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Pragnesh
