Suggest Treatment For Injury After Smashing Beer Can On Temple

default
Posted on Wed, 1 Apr 2015
Question: Hey doctor,
I know this is going to sound stupid but two days ago I was drinking with some friends and I smashed a beer can on my temple. I meant to smash it on my forehead but I missed to the right. Either way do you think that I could have generated enough force to possible fracture my temporal bone? This happened 48?hours ago and I do not have any localized pain.

Hi

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are unlikely to get fracture as you have no pain and beer can is unlikely to give force of a fracture. However you can rule out fracture by x ray of it.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.
