Suggest Treatment For Black Eyes And Bump On The Forehead
Question: I recently fell and bumped my head. I have had no symptoms of concussion, but have developed two black eyes. The bump was on one side of my forehead, ad the area is still sore and swollen. Should I be checked for a possible subdural hematoma?
Brief Answer:
Get evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Since you refer about both areas around eyes black, it is necessary to get evaluated about a possible cranial vault fracture.
Subdural hematoma also is a possible late complication of head trauma.
A CT scan of the head evaluates correctly and excludes these conditions.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
