Should I Be Concerned About An Injury On Forehead After A Hit?

I hit my head yesterday on a table. On the left side one inch above my eye brow. It did not bleed much. I cleaned it with an Antiseptic wipe, applied butterfly bandage and iced it. Do you recommend that I still head to see a doctor? I never loss consciousness. My eyes did not swell only the area around it. It is a little sore to touch.

You should see a doctor if you had any of the following: loss of consciousness; amnesia of events/loss of memory; double vision or blurring of vision; vomiting; collapse or dizziness; headaches; bleeding in the white of the eye (subconjunctival haematoma); bleeding or clear fluid discharge from the nose or ear. If your symptoms are limited to what you describe then you will be fine.
