A member asked:
Hit my head on granite countertop 4 days ago. fair lump, minimal bruising, still feeling pain/headache. is it normal for it to hurt for this long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe.: Any bruise or bang can hurt for a week or 2. With head injuries, the key is knowing if the pain responds to simple over the counter pain relievers, in the dosages on the bottle. And if you've other symptoms of concussion that may warrant further exam. So if the pain is not helped with regular otc pain relievers, you have vomiting, dizziness, fever, confusion, weakness, vision change, see MD now
