Yesterday at 5:00 p.m. I walked into a pole (no, I wasn t texting) and hit my temple really hard - the eye socket bone just below and to the right of my right eyebrow. Within four hours, my pupil on that side was very small and I was dizzy, and of course I had a headache. I am better today, except for a headache and extreme pain around where I hit. It is slightly swollen. Do I need to see a doctor, or is it just an egg from hitting my head?
Hi, Head injury with loss of consciousness, vertigo,vomiting, bleeding from the ears, nose require immediate medical attention. From the symptoms that you have mentioned, if I were your treating doctor, i would have advised you a plain CT scan of the brain immediately. Meanwhile, i would have prescribed you some analgesics and antibiotics for symptomatic relief. An anti-inflammatory like serratiopeptidase would also be helpful. I would also advise you to consult your GP for a clinical examination, get the medicines prescribed and review your CT scan reports. Hope your query is solved, Take care
