How To Get Rid Of Tender Eyes And Headache?
I got hit in the face by a softball Monday. I now have a black eye, 4/5 tneder to touch, minor headache. In the mornings I am very sluggish and have had some nausea and dizziness first thing in the morning. Is it worth going to get it checked out?

Hi,
Your headache might be an outcome of black eye you have followed by the injury. Usually BLACK EYE manifest as pain around eyes & during eye movements, headache, double vision. It resolves automatically within 2 weeks.
I advice you to:
- Seek immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist to look for the depth of eye injury & for further assistance.
- Apply hot compress to relieved of pain
- Analgesics like acetaminophen
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
