What Causes Headache And Mark On Forehead After An Injury?

I was playing cricket earlier when the ball shot off of the stumps and struck me in the forehead. I ve got a small mark on the top right of my forehead and have a bit of a headache. Is it worth just taking some pain killers or should I get it checked out at the hospital?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to the impact as well as accumulation of fluid & blood.
Symptomatic relief is obtained by analgesics preparations (like Paracetamol/ Advil), ice compression & adequate rest.

If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, vomiting, dizziness, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc. then it will be better to consult your Doctor.
Under such circumstances, a proper clinical+ radiological evaluation will be needed to rule out any pathological cause for symptoms.

Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
