Does Cold Pack Help To Alleviate The Painful Lump At The Back Of Head?
I fell backwards and hit my head pretty hard. It s been 2.5 days and I have a decent size egg on the back of my head that absolutely kills when I touch it. I iced it the first nite & again last nite. Will ice help again Tonite? I basically slept with ice on my head last nite. I have a headache that only subsides a little bit....my pupils look ok...but I can feel the headache more behind one eye. How long should I wait to see if headache improves? Also, should I massage the very tender spot so it doesn t form a clot? Does heat help? Is ice useless at this point? Thanks
Ice packs are good put in towel and rap around head. If any vomiting or any symptoms in any part of body go to doc. It’s good if it’s very painful once go to doctor. Tab Tylenol for pain relief, no other meds without doctor's prescription.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
