What to do with the bump on my forehead?!


Question: What to do with the bump on my forehead?
I was playing softball outfield and the runner running to 1st base ran into me. Her helmet bumped my face and i had a nosebleed and a bump on my forehead,
I put ice on the bump and it helped. But now my mom is saying the bruised blood inside will flow down to my eyes and i'll become blind?! Is that true?

please help!

Answers:

serious answer seems needed. listen to your coach. either your mom is incredibly stupid or she's messin with you. don't mess with the lump. your body can take care of itself. you wont go blind. thats truly ridiculous. don't worry kido. your gonna be just fine.

life experience--I hit my head a lot. clumsy as a kid.
medical training. I'm a field medic in the US Army.



How long ago did this happen? Any signs of headache, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness? You should always have head injuries checked out. Monitor yourself. If you develop any of the above symptoms, go to the urgent care.
