Suggest Remedy For Discoloration And Swelling After Bumping Head

So I bumped my forehead pretty hard yesterday and suffered a mild hematoma with laceration/scrapes on upper forehead and between the brow on top of the bridge of the nose. The swelling has gone down, but not all the way today. Discoloration has settled in above my right brow. Initially it knocked me down but I got right back up and experienced slight nausea and already had a headache prior so I proceed to take more ibuprofen to power through the rest of the day. Today it s tender to the touch and I feel as if my right eye is droopy, but it doesn t appear that way in a mirror. Is this something I need to be concerned with?

Hi thanks for choosing HCM.
Truma to head is always dangerous.
Head ache, changing of colour in the conjunctiva of eyes.(redness of eyes), blurring of vision, swelling of affected part and bleeding per nose and eyes are warning signals of Hemorrhage in the head.Immediate attention is essential and consult your local doctor...He will guide you.
MRI Scan for head to ruled out dangerous haemorrhage like Subarachnoid and subdural heamatomas..Hope it will help you.
