Is It Necessary To Do Check Up For Bump On The Head With Black Eye After Hitting The Head?

I hit the top of my forehead and have a bump there, woke up a few days later with a black eye. Four days after hitting my head my neck started hurting but I feel fine besides that, able to go to school but a few people I know were urging me to get it checked out. I was wondering if that was necessary.

Hi,
I have read your query & understood it.
It seems you did not have any symptom after the bump on head. The symptoms depend on severity of the bump.
* Blacknning of eye few days later signify resolving of the subcutaneous tissue damaged at the moment of bump.It will take about 8-10 days for the skin to be normal after healing of the subcutaneous tissue.
* If this is associated with head ache/problem with vision/lac of sleep/irritation-then you should consult doctor.
* the pain in neck after the bump is due to gerk to cervical spine at the moment. If you find any neurological sign( pain/numbness/tingling)-you need to consult an orthopedic doctor.
Thanks.
