Domestic violence: I don't know if you have brain damage but you should be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible to completely document your injuries. Also, please seek help from the police or someone else for this. Best of luck.

Question 2

what can be the causes of daily forehead headaches between the eyes? at times, there is swelling as well. i had a brow lift five years ago.

Accepted Answer

Chronic Headaches: Daily headaches can be frustrating and cumbersome; they occur due to many reasons.  Use of medications like Ibuprofen and triptans on a frequent basis can cause headaches.  Family history of headaches also predisposes a person to headaches.  Other factors involved include stress, physical trauma, sleep disorders, and previous history of headaches. Swelling is probably a separate issue; consult pcp.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. From what you described he seems to have allergies and it would be prudent to consult an allergist. If he develops swollen tongue or breathing difficulty take him to the nearest emergency room.  Wish you and your brother good health!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Probably lymph node: Do you have any abnormality in the scalp, even a bad case of dandruff? What you described sounds like result of some inflammation in the scalp and enlarged draining lymph node. Pay attention to scalp hygiene and if it does not resolve in 4-6 weeks, or if it becomes painful, or starts draining, see your doctor.
