Large Bump On Right Side Of Head, Puffiness On Top Of Neckline. Treatment For Head Injury?
I fell down some steps 3 nights ago. I had a nice size bump on the right side of my head. I didnt seek medical advice. The numbness around the bumb has decreased and so has the bump. However I feel a little puffiness at the top of my neckline. Should I seek medical attention. Im not sick to stomach and havent been dizzy
The bump over the head after a fall is due to accumulation of blood & it is called hematoma.
The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body.
But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely.
Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by taking analgesics, ice compression & adequate rest.
If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like vomiting, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor.
Wishing you a good health.
Thanks & take care.
