im epileptic and have never had night seizures before. i've been waking up tired, bitten tongue, bruised head, leg over the bed. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: It certainly seems as if you are having seizures at night (though not 100% sure).  Call your doc and get checked.  Your medications may need to be adjusted.  Stop any over the counter meds or supplements you may be taking that your doctor has not okayed.  No alcohol or recreational drugs either!  Call today.

Question 4

i bruised my head from a fall and now i have a big bump. how long will you think itll last???

Accepted Answer

Could be permanent..: If you injured your scull - as bruise .Hematoma ( blood collection in subcutaneous tissue) heals over time - body uses its mechanism for absorbing it .But hematomas close to bone surface ( as shin, scull) May create persistent ” bump” due to deposits of calcium to hematoma as process of healing. Inflammation or hematoma attracts calcium . It become just cosmetic annoyance.

Question 5

could you bruise the head of your penis?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But it is rarely significant.  If discoloration, pain or deformity of the erect or is persists, see a urologist.

Question 6

for a head bruise/contusion, how many hours after the injury can i apply heat? how many times & how many minutes each time?use heat for how many days?

Accepted Answer

No set rules: To minimize swelling after an injury, cold applications are recommended for 24 to 48 hours and then switch to warm applications for 20 minutes every few hours. The heat increases blood supply and breaks down blood clots under skin and promotes healing. Wrap the ice and the hot packs in a towel when applying. Discontinue the warm applications when soreness improves which is usually after several day.

Question 7

what could be the cause of a small bruise on the head of penis, there is no pain as well.

Accepted Answer

Impact: "rough" or "firm" impact from intercourse, or occasionally masturbation, can cause an appearance as you describe. It should resolve on its own in a few days.

Question 8

my 3 year old got hurt against a wall & got  a bruise on the head. she got 38 degree fever.is that cause of the hit /shock?

Accepted Answer

No: No a bruise alone will not cause fever if it does not look infected.

Question 9

son, 21 yrs. old, has head pain when he lies down on back or changes position suddenly. feels like a big bruise inside his head. ?

Accepted Answer

Trauma?: Has he had a bump on the head recently, fallen on the ice? That sort of thing?  Best to get it checked out by a doc.  It may be a hematoma (pooling of blood producing a lump) or something else that it would be good to know about.   Peace and good health.

Question 10

does the use of heat for treatment of general bruises/contusions the same as the use of it for treatment of "head" bruises/contusions or different?

Accepted Answer

Same: The principles are the same if you're referring to scalp contusions and not brain injuries. Of course with head injuries you have to be on the lookout for worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, etc which would raise the suspicion of associated brain injury.
