What Causes Indention In The Forehead And Persistent Headaches Post Head Injury?
Two and a half weeks ago I fell and hit my head on the corner of a deck post. At first I just had a goose egg and a headache with a little bit of tiredness. Since then almost every day I have had persistent headaches that seemed to be getting worse even with medication. Now that the swelling went down from the goose egg I have an indentation in my forehead

Hi,
Please go for CT head for confirmation of the cause of persistent headache. Though it is a minor injury but some time little shocks on head can lead to internal injuries. External injury will subside with time, you can do ice fomentation to help it go faster but please do not ignore headache as it may be an indication of some internal injury.
Hope that helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. M Zahoor Bhat
