How Can Lump On The Forehead After An Injury Be Treated?

my 75 year old mother hasnt been able to have a really good bowel movement in about 2-3 days. shes "rabbit pelting". Tonight, I heard a loud noise, i go into my mothers bedroom, to find her on the floor of the bathroom. im believing she passed out on the toilet and fell over. I just noticed a goose egg on her forehead and a little bit of a skinned up nose. she fell twice. I ran to the store really fast and I bought her some magnesium ciltrate. shes also nausous. (since I have a 2 year old toddler, I keep pedialyte on hand) i mixed the unflavored pedialyte with some apple juice ( just enough for flavor) shes also sweating some.

Hello,

The lump on forehead after injury indicates hematoma formation in form of blood collection.

As she is sweating, nauseous and 75 years age; she requires immediate ER (Emergency Room) visit for vital parameters evaluation; apply ice till that period.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
