Concussion: Or epidural hematoma? Impossible to tell without physical, neurologic examination and appropriate imaging (ct, mri) head trauma should not be taken lightly. Symptoms of a head injury may occur immediately or develop slowly over several hours, days or months. For a mild head injury, no treatment may be needed, but visit to pcp is warranted. Take care.

Ouch: If not unconscious, likely just bruised- contusion. Ice and rest and time will take care. If more then concussion is possible.

Around 4 weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend. I was quite anxious - not eating or sleeping well and I started biting my bottom lip - not hard - just holding it with my top teeth. I now have a blister (not a cold sore) that wont heal?
