General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Since you have a hematoma after head injury and even after 2 weeks it is still there, you should visit ER and get re-examined. Get X-ray, CT/MRI done to detect if their is any internal injury or trauma or subdural hematoma. Hematomas may take 4-6 weeks to heal. You may be referred to an Eye specialist for your eyes to get examined. You will be tested and examined and treated accordingly. For headache you can take acetaminophen, one stat when needed. Stay away from addictions.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
