I hit my eyebrow bone on the porcelin in my tub. I had peat moss in my eyes and could not see. I bent over and hit it extremely hard. Immediate swelling and so I iced it for about 8 hours, took ibuprofen every 4 hours for swelling and pain. That was almost a week ago and now there is a knot on that spot and the area around the eye is blackening and on the bridge of my nose is swelling. Is there anything I can do? My daughter is getting married this weekend and just wondered, other than time, if I could do anything else.
Hello, It could be a contusion only. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac / seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. In severe cases a CT head may be useful. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
