Good evening, thank you for getting in touch. Could you tell me a little more about what you'd like to discuss? I may take a few minutes to reply as dealing with other patients too, thank you
I'm very sorry to hear about that.
Sorry the site offers calls automatically we can continue typing of course.
Why did you fall and did you lose consciousness after hitting your head? How do you feel now/since then?
Ok I see, well so long as loss of consciousness, significant amnesia nor significant vomiting directly after the head injury have occurred there isn't any need for a CT scan etc and you likely have a bit of a haematoma by the scalp (big bruise) and this will heal. You could try applying an ice pack every now and then to the area and take some paracetamol but otherwise you don't need to be concerned and it will settle with some more time.
Well you still have a lump there so it's likely a pressure effect from that really. I don't think you've broken anything or caused serious injury but applying ice will help get rid of the lump and associated symptoms faster.
