Is Pain In Forehead Due To Hematoma In The Head?
Hello. I fell and hit my head exactly 2 weeks ago, resulting in a pretty large hematoma. For the most part it has gone away, with just some minor bruising and a small hard lump about the size of a pea left. It is still pretty tender to touch. I've had some minor headaches the last couple of weeks, but no dizziness or loss of conscoiusness. This morning I woke up with a sharp pain in my forehead that lasted about 2 hours, then slowly went away. Do I need to be checked out or is this normal healing for this type of injury?

Hello,
A headache can be of many reasons. The most common being migraine. Other causes can be cluster headaches, stress headaches etcetera. If headaches are too frequent need to go to a general practitioner for history and examination to come to a diagnosis. Usually, no preliminary scans are required. Graded analgesia was given for treatment and is easily control. Lifestyle modification is also advising like decreasing tea or coffee or alcohol and smoking whichever can be triggering factors.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
