I hit my head off my door (Long Story) but anyways its a small bump with a scrach and i feel fine...i have ice on it...but my question is.will it go down by tommorow morning even if i don't have ice on it?...does ice even really help?
Answer:
Ice really does help
Yes, it does help. It will keep the swelling down. Don't use it and see how big that lump gets.
Yes the ice helps keep down the swelling, and it will swell much less if you apply it than if you don't. If it will be gone by tomorrow depends on how much it swells today. Like as not, there will still be a small and very sore lump, but it shouldn't be so noticeable as it is right now. Incidently, frozen peas or corn work better than lumps of ice, as they conform better to the curves and bumps of the body. But ice will work just fine if that's all you have. At least it was your head and not your mouth or nose. Those don't go down in a day.
ice is for the swelling ;)
Ice helps to reduce/minimize the swelling. Generally, ice up to 15-20 minutes at a time. There is going to be some swelling in the morning, but there would be a lot more swelling if you didn't ice it at all. Sounds like you have my kind of luck! lol
