  1. I fell straight down onto a hard granite tile floor and landed on my nose. I have an X shaped cut, my nose hurts and I have pain and swelling and red bruising on the inner part of teh skin near my eyes and starting on my cheeks also. Should I go to the doctor or home remedy?.
  2. I am 59 yrs old and had an accident about 10 yrs ago and developed ringing in my ears since then. I asked my doctor about this and he had no answer (actually said I should answer the door if it rings, Ha) Is there any herb or any solutions to get rid of this constant ringing. Help
  3. Out of the blue, blood appeared underneath my old cellulitis scar that is seven years old. W hat oculd be the cause of this? And also i have a sore throat and I think one of my tear ducts are infected because the inner corner of my eye is swollen and red it also hurts. I’m not sure if these symptoms are related or not but just to be on the safe side I put them in here anyway.
  4. I just got back from a long trip and my 60 lb puppy started running around the house. I bent over to pick something up and he plowed his head into my forehead full force. I fell back and since then have been dizzy every time I move my head. There is no lump but the spot he hit me is still really sore. It has been almost 24 hours and I am still dizzy. Will this pass or do I need to see a doctor?
  5. For years now I have had a problem where after I get sick (only when i get a fever) everything gets a weird pungent odor afterwards to where I can only eat a few thing that don’t taste and smell like pure garbage. It lasts for about 2-3 weeks after. I have tried everything to fix it, antibiotics, breathing in steam, and nothing works. I know I’m not the only one with this problem, as I have read comments from a lot of people who get the exact same thing. Iis there a cure or a way to get rid of the odor/smell?. I have talked to my family doctor and she has no idea what it is. Please any advice will help.

I fell in the bathroom and bruised my nose yesterday. I have now dark circles under my eyes and it hard to breath. What tests do I need?

With any severe fall and head trauma, you will need to get evaluation in the emergency department especially if you’ve had loss of consciousness.  You will need a physical exam focusing on your head as well as your eyes.  The doctor will need to check if you have any blurry vision, blind spots, and if your eyes have full ranges of motion.  A head CT will tell the doctors if there is any bleeding around your brain.  In addition, a CT scan of your sinuses will be needed to evaluate the integrity of your facial bones (there may be damage as you described bruising under your eyes).  Finally, if there is any damage to the bones around your eyes or if your eye exam is abnormal, an opthalmology consult would be needed to further evaluate your vision.
