Big swelling on the head due to fall

Sometimes we fall down accidentally, but sometimes when we fall on our head, we will find a big swelling on our head. When encountering this situation, many people will worry that they have accidentally injured their head, and they will be particularly scared, worried that it will affect their brain. Here are the reasons that cause swelling on the head. I hope it can help you solve the trouble and relieve your worries.

1. What to do if you have a head injury or swelling?

1. The swelling on the head caused by a fall is caused by local congestion and edema, and can be treated symptomatically. It is recommended to apply local hot compress or spray Yunnan Baiyao after 24 hours, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection.

2. If you have headache symptoms, you can take appropriate painkillers for treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital to rule out the possibility of concussion. If the dizziness persists, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

3. If you fall and your head swells up and a big bump appears, which is soft inside, and if there is no bleeding but a small bump after falling on your head, you should immediately apply cold compress. If the swelling is large or red, you can apply some sesame oil as an emergency measure, or apply moistened potato slices on it, which can help relieve pain and remove blood stasis.

4. If the baby falls and has a big swelling on his head, but starts to cry immediately, the possibility of brain injury is generally low. Babies are most afraid of falling on the back of their heads. If they fall face down, the danger is generally smaller and only external injuries need to be treated.

It is caused by the increase of subcutaneous tissue fluid due to the infiltration of tissue fluid after external force loss. In this case, since the subcutaneous fluid cannot be absorbed by the human body quickly, a swelling is formed. Pay attention to whether the child's condition is abnormal, such as whether there are changes in consciousness, etc. It is recommended to observe closely. It is best to go to the hospital for a simple CT scan to rule out possible problems. This is because the brain is a relatively special location. Special attention must be paid to it in the future. Pay attention to close observation to prevent abnormalities such as edema. If the child does not have a headache or vomiting, you can use ice compresses for now, and then use hot compresses to reduce swelling after 24 hours.
