Suggest Treatment For Bump On Head Causing Pain While Bending And Fever

Last night my husband hit me with a wooden picture frame on the head. I had no bleeding, but a bump. My head hurt since then, especially when I lower my head. I also have a low grade fever of 99.1. Should I worry or it will go away and no visit to the doctor is necessary.

Hi,

You can't keep tolerating your husband's abuse. Kindly report it with the Police. Coming to the symptoms, the bump on your scalp is a thrombus or a blood clot. Mostly it resolves by itself. Your fever may be related to the injury. The following are the alarming signs when they occur you should consult a doctor in person:
1) Rapidly increasing size of the bump
2) Excruciating pain at the site
3) High grade fever that doesn't come down
4) Any loss of consciousness or seizure

You can relax for now as the fever is very low grade and the bump pains when you lower your head due to gravity pull. The following measures are recommended:
1) Warm compressor over the bump
2) NSAIDs like Ibuprofen for pain relief
3) Keep checking your temperature
4) Drink more water and rest adequately

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
