Is Pain In Head After An Injury A Sign Of Concussion?

Hi, I fell off of the side of my bed and slammed the right side of my head on the ground resulting in sharp pain throughout my entire face/head. Ten minutes later i looked at the area and there is a lump on top of my right temple and it feels like i have a concussion. Is this dangerous to let heal on its own or should i see a doctor?

Hi welcome to HCM

Dear ,It is natural to feel pain, if any part of your body is injured .
For your info , The most common and least serious type of traumatic brain injury is called a concussion .
It is the sudden but short-lived loss of mental function that occurs after a blow or other injury to the head.
Lump /bump is a kind of swelling , a natural process after injury . Blood collects at the location of the injury, and initially causes the distinctive red and blue coloring under the skin. As the bruise heals, it may turn yellow, until it finally resolves after a weeks time .
Every concussion injures your brain to some extent. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Most concussive traumatic brain injuries are mild, and people usually recover fully with in a short period .
Some Home remedies may help you recover fast -:

1 )Apply Hot pad on the injured part for 10- 15 minutes , 2-3 times a day .
2) Apply Aloe vera jelly

Take a level spoon of turmeric powder in a cup of hot milk 2-3 times a day .
Take 2 drops of Homeopathic Ladum 30 ,twice in 4 table spoon of water for 2 days .
All will help alley pain and swelling .

Consult your doctor for advice if you receives anything more than a light bump on the head and if problem persists .

Hope this helps solve your query Take care All the best. wish you good health ahead
