How Should Forehead Injury Causing Eye Redness And Tenderness Be Treated?
I HIT MY FOREHEAD ON THE LEFTSIDE, BUMPED INTO THE EDGE OF THE CABINET DOOR BUT NOW MY LEFT EYE HAS TURNED RED. I NO LONGER HAVE A BUMP BUT MY FOREHEAD IS STILL TENDER TO THE TOUCH. DOES MY RED EYE HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME BUMPING MY HEAD, SHOLUD I SEE THE DOCTOR?

Hi , you must have sub conjunctival hemorrhage due to head injury.
A sub conjunctival hemorrhage is one cause of a red eye.
It is caused by a small bleed behind the conjunctiva.
It can look alarming, but it usually causes no symptoms and is usually harmless.
The redness usually clears within two weeks.
No treatment is required.
They usually fade and disappear within two weeks.
I would advise you to consult eye surgeon to r/o eye injury. Thanks
