Suggest Treatment For Injury To Temple And Eyebrows
Hi, I hit my head between the temple and my eyebrow. The nostril on the side I hit bled. It swolled up a little and 4 days later I have a yellow bruise. I had a headache for the first 2 dyas. Now if I touch it I get a headache. Does it sound like a fracture? Is there anything I should do?

Hi and welcome to HCM
It might be soft tissue injury or fracture.
Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this will helps you. Take care
