Hello Doctors,
Yes, it may sound funny, and even my relatives are ignoring this, but I am overthinking and worrying about my health.
Yesterday, around 3 PM, I was watching my mobile while lying on my bed. I started falling asleep and forgot that the phone was in my hand. Suddenly, it dropped on the left side of my head, just below the parting area. I woke up immediately, felt pain, and rubbed the area with my hand.
Usually, when something hits the head, it causes a lump, but in this case, there is no lump. Instead, it feels slightly dented. When I touch the area, I can feel this dent, and it is not present on the right side.
Now, I also have a slight headache because of this. I don’t know whether this is serious or if it will become normal after some time. I am literally feeling very stressed about it.
It has been more than 24 hours, and I can still feel pain and the dent when I touch the area.
Please, doctors, I request you to suggest what I should do, as I really need guidance. 🙏🏻

A mobile phone falling from a feet or two hardly causes skull injuries but again, it depends on the angle and the surface area that you are hit on. A dent may be nothing, or it could be a depressed fracture of skull( considering it is persistent for more than a day). Also, better to get a CT Head plain done if there really is a dent and you have persistent headache, it will help to clear the doubts as well as guide further treatment.
Next Steps
You can consult me on practo VC with or without a CT head.
Usually, mobile falling on head from height of about 1-2feet donot cause skull injuries.
As you have no vimitings/ seizures/ persistant headache
You may consider it to be normal
