Fell and hit head on door frame. Slight swelling in temple moving into cheek. Little to no discoloration. Slight pressure, no headaches, no dizziness, no blurred vision on that side. Just slightly worried. Swelling seeming to increase even after 48hrs +
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you have got a soft tissue injury and not deep-seated injury. Due to soft tissue injury there has been inflammation of soft tissues and a LSO there is accumulation of inflammatory fluid leading to swelling on temple that has progressed to cheek. As you have no other symptoms you need not worry as gradually the swelling will subside. You can do cool compresses over the swelling 2 to 3 times a day. You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Do not sleep on the side that is swollen to prevent compressing or pressure over the area. In case if swelling does not improve in a week or there is exaggeration of symptoms consult a General Physician and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
