Head swelling

2017-06-01 12:17:14
I got into an argument with my (now) ex boyfriend this morning. Things got heated and it was during a physical altercation that he threw me onto the tiled floor- head first. The back of my head immediately swelled up and I have iced it and applied pressure to try relieve the swelling. It has gone down a bit but it aches. Should I be worried?

If you have no giddiness or nausea or vomiting ,then give it time and the swelling will improve. Take painkillers and anti-inflammatories. Use ice packs which will help in reducing the swelling.
