Black Eye Question!

Kim, I was wondering if you could tell me how long my eye will be sooooo ugly for?!? I banged it on the wall Monday morning and gave myself a black eye. It looks even worse today!

And I can't shake this headache! My mom wants me to go to the DR but I don't think they will be able to do anything but tell me to put ice on it which I'm doing already.

please! TIA!

Michelle, it will pretty much be like any bruise. Sore & looks yucky for a while. A headache is pretty understandable. If it doesn't get any better or if you have any changes in vision or have nausea & vomiting, call the MD right away. If you still have a headache in the a.m., call your Doctor's office & see what they would recommend. They might even give you a small RX of some stronger pain pills.

Good luck & feel better soon!

Thanks Kim! I woke up this morning feeling much better...no more headache! Now if only the ugly bruise would go away, I would be all set!

The bruise should start turning yellow in around another two days and then should be pretty much cleared up in a week.
I'm glad your headache has gone
