What Causes Black Eyes And A Lump On The Forehead After Injury?
Monday I fell down the steps at my daughter s house and have a lump on my forehead and two huge black eyes. I had a catscan and an xray of my hand that showed no breaks or pressure on my brain. I have been icing everything. My question is what I should be doing for the raccoon black bags under my eyes and a blue left check?
Hello there, Thanks for your post on HealthcareMagic. I carefully read your query and understand your point of concern.
At first i assure you don't worry, it's a normal consequence of head trauma. Normally within 2 weeks it will come back to the normal. It's great that CT scan and Xray shows nothing significant. So don't be panic, give time you will be ok. Only you can need some symptomatic treatment
My advice for this- Apply cold compression on the affected area, If pain there take Ibuprofen or Ketorolac, along with Esomeprazole or Pantoprazole, Take an antibiotic like Cefixime or Cefuroxime to counter the secondary bacterial infection.
Hope i have answered your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wish your good health'
Regards Dr. Atiqul
