Hello,
Thank you for your query.
It seems that the bone was displaced.
* do you have any headache?
* do you have any vomiting? Vision disturbances or funny smell in your nose?
* any difficulty relaxing your forehead muscles.
I recommend :
- a physician consult
-an x-ray of the skull
-back CT scan of the brain if there is any bony depression.
Based on this a treatment plan will be initiated if necessary..
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
