[|Human|] I fell off my bike and hit the side of my head on asphalt. I have a small bump on my head that hurts to touch. This was about 5 hours ago and I am not dizzy or vomiting but noticed my neck is sore on the other side of the bump. It hurts to stretch my neck. Should I be concerned and go to hospital or just wait until morning
[|AI|]  Hello dear, The bump formation on the head is due to accumulation of fluid & blood, and it is called Hematoma. The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body. But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely. Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by analgesics preparations (like paracetamol/ ibuprofen)+ serratiopeptidase, ice compression & adequate rest. If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, vomiting, dizziness, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor. Under such circumstances, a proper clinical+ radiological evaluation will be needed to rule out any pathological cause for symptoms. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
