Suggest Treatment For Headache And Pain Around Eye Due To Injury

Yesterday at 5:00 p.m. I walked into a pole (no, I wasn t texting) and hit my temple really hard - the eye socket bone just below and to the right of my right eyebrow. Within four hours, my pupil on that side was very small and I was dizzy, and of course I had a headache. I am better today, except for a headache and extreme pain around where I hit. It is slightly swollen. Do I need to see a doctor, or is it just an egg from hitting my head?

Hi,
Head injury with loss of consciousness,vertigo,vomiting,bleeding from the ears,nose require immediate medical attention.
From the symptoms that you have mentioned,if i were your treating doctor,i would have advised you a plain CT scan of the brain immediately.

Meanwhile,i would have prescribed you some analgesics and antibiotics for symptomatic relief.
An anti-inflammatory like serratiopeptidase would also be helpful.

I would also advise you to consult your GP for a clinical examination,get the medicines prescribed and review your CT scan reports.

Hope your query is solved,
Take care
