What Is The Treatment For Painful Bump In The Head After Injury?
Hi I hit the back of my head really hard a week ago and it still has a bump and the bump still hurts really bad. Am I ok? Also when I hit the back of my head my gums started bleeding, I found that kind of odd. Can you please give me some answers. Thank you.

Hii,
Welcome to HCM,
The small bump may be due to the hematoma formation in the scalp, for pain apply Ice locally and Take tab. Paracetamol 1gm as and when required, max of 4 tablets such per day. I will advise you to go to ER and get a thorough examination done on you, to look for the signs of infection at the trauma site.
I hope this advise will help you,
Regards,
Dr. Vivek
