Suggest Remedy For Dizziness And Headache Due To Being Elbowed On Temple

I was elbowed in my temple relatively hard 4 days ago at a water park. It immediately gave me spoty vision. There has been a tenderness to the area with a headache since. Today it turned in a throbbing pain. If I turn my head to fast, I get very dizzy. Should I see a doctor or let the blunt trauma heal itself

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response

Hello

First I will advise to do x ray and rule out any unicortical fracture in your temporal bone.
There is possibility of injury to soft tissue.

Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].
If there is no relief them you may need to do MRI.
Yes you should consult your doctor for proper treatment.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
