Suggest Medications For Painful Dent In Head With Headache

I was hit on the head by a falling object, and now I have a dent on the top of my head almost two inches long, and about 1/3 inch wide or so. It is quite painful, especially to touch it. I have had a headache since it happened, and my eyes seem to burn.

Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. For your pain, you can take Diclofenac sodium on proper prescription from doctor. You can apply ice thrice a day for scalp swelling.
If you are having persistent dent, you should visit neurosurgeon. Your skull bone needs proper evaluation to rule out any depressed fracture.


Thanks. Hope it will help you. Take care.
